I agree with Sean and Jonathan Rosenne. The running conversations
will suffer if we go to a digest. One of the nice things about the
Internet is the fact that you can get real-time feedback and comment.
Also, as Jonathan pointed out, if we go to a digest, message filing and
retrieval will be a nightmare. I have a structure of about 60 folders and
subfolders in Microsoft Outlook into which I organize all my
Unicode messages.
BTW, if anyone would like to tell me, on-line or offline, how to set
Micrsosoft Outlook 97 to automatically place recieved Unicode messages
into common folder (other than my Inbox), so I can both eliminate the
Inbox clutter and read all the Unicode messages at leisure...
I'd be truly grateful! Sean's solution is the best idea I've heard.
