How about this - since the Digest comes with Unsub. directions at the 
top of each message (and it's the only thing I can subscribe to, 
based on the traffic on this list...) would it be unbearable to put a 
two-line "Unsub. directions" as an automatic footer to each indivual 
mesage??  or would the cure be worse than the disease.  Mebbe 
so.  

Also - that idea would ONLY work if it could be done without 
putting the footer on every message in the Digest.  That would really 
make the Digest unreadable.

New topic:  just a note to thank one and all for the great advice and 
cyber-friendships offered over this group.  This is definitely a 
"virtual community" in the best sense of the phrase.  I hope all of 
you have a wonderful holiday season!!
