It should >remain a *Discussion* with fast responses! I do recognise that the digest format causes difficulties with users who read info-vax using VMS MAIL. It should not however slow responses. It possibly could be set up that those desiring the digiest format would be on one distribution list while those not wanting digests are on another list. all information would still be send to info-vax... but the digests would be sent from a separate list. Obviously, I can not speak for the gracious host of this mailing list who must already work many long hours every week (or is it day) so that we might chat with one another. This question only seems to come up when one of our user machines starts swamping info-vax with useless reply messages telling us that some user no longer exists. Lets try to fix these quicker. I wish that everones postmaster account included the name and phone number of the person that would be willing to hear about such returned messages. -------
