I wouldn't use the digest option... not in this day and age when you can sort incoming messages to specific directories. Using the digest makes it difficult for you to receive immediate feedback and also to properly respond to any feedback sent to you since you won't have a separate message header for each response. The traffic here isn't overwhelming, maybe 10 to 50 emails a day. Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
