I can see that you don't understand the problem, otherwise you wouldn't
have included Richard's message at the end.  For a better understanding,
read Richard's mail again, and maybe my posting from yesterday, too.

Sometimes I have the feeling that people are to lazy to change the
auto-include function of their mail client.  Or they don't know how to
change it.

But why including a whole message anyway?  It was sent to the list
before, presumably with the same subject line.  It is in the list
archives.  Including it wastes bandwidth, disk space, ...   And as I
said before:  As a subscriber to the digest, I am seeing the same lines
again, and again, and ...  It is not like a single mail, where you can
skip the rest.  And not every mail client has a builtin 'undigest'
feature, that allows to split the digest into its original postings.

Very good point!
