This is true, or at least I'm willing to take it as true - but if a
digest exists, then it would be very strange and frustrating to try to
disallow replying to it. Otherwise, if a digest subscriber wanted to
reply to something, he'd have to travel backwards in time and subscribe
himself to the individual messages instead, in time to catch the one he
was interested in. :)
So - cancel the digest? Or accept that replies will continue to come
from it. I can't see any possible choice other than those two.
People should remember to do the right thing every time, and people
should be required to use mail client software that not only does the
right thing but also steadfastly refuses to do the wrong thing. But
people are not going to change like that unless Mr Kastrup makes a
personal visit to each of their homes - and maybe not even then. :)
