I can not but agree. I prefer to get the mailing list messages in
the digest form. On the other hand, I like to use the
onelist/yahoogroups numbering system for referencing the messages. So,
I have written a Perl script which enumerates automatically the
messages in the digests. However, the multiple messages, while getting
through into the digests, are somehow filtered out in the
yahoo-groups web page which leads to a mismatch of numbers.
As a result, I have to clean up the files and
renumber the messages manually {.uinai .o'onai .o'unaicai}
I would be enormously grateful if you were more careful when
sending the messages.
