Hello Barry,
you were right, the MIME feature was switched off. So hopefully the next digest will be in MIME.
To the html index: it is only an index in the mail you see first like:
<li><a href="#S1">A doubt on scalability....</a> (2) <li><a href="#S2">AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (2) <li><a href="#S3">REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a>
you click and get here
<a name=S1><li>A doubt on scalability....</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13761@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: A doubt on scalability....</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Hans Bergsten <hans@GEFIONSOFTWARE.COM> <li><a href="cid:13772@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: A doubt on scalability....</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Andy Bailey <abailey@CIC-NET.COM></ul> <a name=S2><li>AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13762@JAVA.SUN.COM">AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> "Scheiderer, Stephan" <Stephan.Scheiderer@DEBIS.COM> <li><a href="cid:13774@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Andy Bailey <abailey@CIC-NET.COM></ul> <a name=S3><li>REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13763@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> "Rampas, Tomas" <Rampas@GEDAS.CZ></ul>
later with links to the mails itself like you get here:
Content-ID: <13761@JAVA.SUN.COM> Content-Type: message/rfc822
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 01:04:08 -0700 From: Hans Bergsten <hans@GEFIONSOFTWARE.COM> Subject: Re: A doubt on scalability.... MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
and so on. That I think makes it very comfortable to read some but not all mails. I am not sure if you can/should create a thread list like when reading news in HTML? Listserv only sorts after Name of the Thread and the Time I think.
