Yikes... I wouldn't be able to use Emacs then... that is horrible looking (to me - no offense intended)... ;)
See above. No one would force anyone to choose this new digest version.
That's not the point. The point is that in my experience these are minimum requirements for a digest view,
Sorry, maybe I'm dense but I don't know what you mean by 'these' when you said 'these are minimum requirements'... and reading the previous messages wasn't helpful either...
and I don't see how you plan to implement that in portable HTML unless you make *really* draconian restrictions on what formats people are allowed to post in.
I'm guessing that comment is intended more for the 'Reply' features. Apparently some of the features I'm asking for should be [relatively] easily doable (and Barry confirmed this) - like capturing the subject, and adding the anchors for scrolling down to a message from the message summary at the top, then back to the top.
Being that I'm not a programmer, maybe I just don't know enough about what can and can't be done, but my thinking was that the headers of each message could somehow be 'encapsulated' and hidden (ie, not 'rendered') in the generated 'Interactive HTML Digest' in such a way that would allow the more complex 'special features' in this request to work.
This would mean that there would be *no* restrictions, much less draconian ones, on what formats people can post in. The only issue would then be what clients can make use of the HTML code that makes the magic happen.
It looks like somebody has borrowed Guido's time machine and the feature (ie, List-Post in each message in digest) is already implemented. But it's not default yet, so you could ask for that. ;-)
Hmmmm... is there an option somewhere to enable it? I don't see anything in the Digest Options for any of the lists I manage...
