[Fmpro] TO ALL FMPRO LIST MEMBERS

[Christopher Alpiar]

One thing to consider for the people that don't do digest mode, is that 
if there is a complex point going on in a thread, which isnt the case 
all the time of course, but when there is I want the *whole* thread to 
read and see when someone comments about a comment that was commented on 
a comment which was commented on a comment....

If you can't trace it then it really loses a lot of value...

How about instead of punishing those for easy mistakes, or someone that 
needs to type a long text, or copy the body of an important article, is 
there any way to configure the server or write some code to make it 
smarter on how it publishes the digest? or how about having the digest 
being published as an html file that is linked to from the digest email, 
which only prints the first "xxx" number of characters of each post for 
the day.

It seems a lot more friendly and shouldn't be unattainable. If you need 
some help on coding let me know Mark, I am pretty busy but I would 
contribute to make the list a little better ;)

My 2 centavos ;)
