Jamie and Chela, the confusion is that Chela is giving Jamie directions for doing something something totally different than what Jamie is asking about.


The email from the volunteer coordinator that Jamie is talking about was sent by the volunteer coordinator with the entire text of the list digest from the previous day included within the email. That made for an enormous single email.

There is no way in gmail to eliminate all that extraneous text from the list digest that was included within the text of the email. That should have been done by the person who sent the email before hitting the reply button and sending that email to the list.

What Chela is trying to give directions about is how to set gmail to look at only one post at a time when there is a thread of emails that are all replies to one original email. In gmail that is called a conversation. It's a totally different thing.

The only way to fix Jamie's problem is to have the person who sent the huge email that contained the entire digest of this list for a day not do that in the future.

Hope that helps clarify stuff up, instead of muddying things even further! smile.

Judy s.

I don't mind some quoting but it's a real pain to wade through 20 or 30 quoted messages.
