Replying when in Digest Mode
                           Don Wiss, 6/5/98

Replying to an article is a little harder when receiving messages in Digest
mode. Most people like a descriptive subject, and not one starting with
"Re: <listname> DIGEST - ...." But once one masters cutting and pasting and
learns the steps it actually is quite simple. Here are some instructions on
this:

One has to be good at cutting-and-pasting to reply from a digest. My steps:

(1) Tag the message to be replied to, starting above the header lines and
ending at where you plan to stop quoting. Use Ctrl-C to save this to the
clipboard.

(2) Open a new message.

(3) Paste into the body what you've tagged. With Eudora use Ctrl-' which
pastes it with > signs along the left. Agent uses Ctrl-Q. With Exchange
Server you need to use Paste Special, Text. Otherwise use Ctrl-V for a
normal paste.

(4) Cut out the subject with Ctrl-X and paste in the subject field, adding
Re: if it isn't already there. Use a predefined nickname for the To field
(e.g. PF for the PaleoFood mailing address).

(5) Delete the remaining header material that precedes the person's name
and address. Add "wrote:"  after it.

(6) Delete the material after that until where you want to start quoting.
After tagging using the enter key will remove it and put in a carriage return.

(7) Remove any dangling > sign and add a blank line before writing your
reply. If you can't paste with the > signs, you can either add them
manually, or bracket the quote with << and >> around all of it.
