     I think trimming a reply message is a good idea, in any case.
     Especially, if the message thread has gone on for many entries
     and needs no repeating.  Most posters observe this courtesy.
     However, I think the digest posting is totally irrelevant and only
     appears because the poster does not know how to post it
     otherwise.  Sure, there are several fixes for it, but I wanted to
     point out that they should not be necessary, in the first place.
