[ExI] extropy-chat Digest, Vol 64, Issue 2

What was the original subject of this post?
Do you know of any way to filter email by subject when the usual subject line
contains only a digest number?
This is why it helps those of us who need to sort email at work,
to use the original subject line,
as long as it remains relevant,
instead of the digest number, which tells little.
Using digest as a subject kills my ability to sort and read by subject!
--
If you must quote me, please put your comments first.
I have already listened to mine.
I read email with speech.
So it is not possible to scroll past the quotes without listening to them again,
to quickly get to the new information.
Thanks much again as always.
