1. While there are several forums where top posting is verboten, I've=20
never seen any complaints about it here.

2. Replying to the direst without correcting the subject is a problem.=20
You can receive digests in 2 ways, plain or MIME. The MIME version tends =

to work well with most modern email clients and allows your email=20
program to treat each message separately. You still get a directory of=20
