Hi all,
Here are a few clarifications regarding the differences between receiving
Etni mail in a digest, or in regular separate messages.
The advantage of the digest is that you receive all of the Etni messages
from the previous day in one message.
However, the digest appears in plain text only. This means that if a message
was sent to the list in rich text, all of its rich text formatting will be
lost in the digest. For example, in the last message to the list from the
ministy (anglit.net), the contact information appeared in a clearly
formatted table in the separate message to the list, but this information
lost its table format and appeared somewhat jumbled in the digest.
Where possible, I convert messages to plain text before forwarding them on
to the list, in order to make this easier for digest readers. But this is
not always possible.
So, all in all, you will have to decide which option is best for you:
receiving only one Etni mail message per day as a digest and giving up on
the original format of some of the messages
- or -
receiving all of the Etni mail for the day in separate email messages, all
in their original format.
* Note - if you want to be sure that all Etniers (both digest readers and
regular message readers) see your message exactly the way you want them to
see it, send it in plain text format.
(This message was sent in plain text format.)
