Doh!  I should have read a little closer!  You were talking about the
digests.  Sorry, I've been apologizing on a few lists for using a broken
mail reader in the past.

Now as far as your delimma, yeah, I've been in the same boat.  About the
only thing you can do is manually insert the Message-ID into you reply's
header.  But most digests don't pass along the Message-ID, so you don't
have it to use in the first place.

I've never come up with a workaround, hence why I typically don't get
digests.  Pretty much the only ones I do get digests on are the heavily
traffic'd Fedora lists.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
