Digest reading is tedious
Trevor - There's a wonderful feature in gnus (the emacs information (including mail) reader), that "bursts" digests into subparts for reading (and hence, easy access). I think there are other similar tools as well for other mail readers. best, -tony

Like many, I am sure, I get R-Help in digest form. Its easy enough to browse the subject lines, but then if an entry interests you, you have to embark on this tedious search or scroll to find it. It would be great to have a "clickable" digest, where the topics list is a set of pointers, and clicking on a topic takes you to that entry. I can think of at least one way to do this via web pages, but I bet those with more web skills than me can come up with an elegant solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Trevor Hastie hastie at stanford.edu Professor, Department of Statistics, Stanford University Phone: (650) 725-2231 (Statistics) Fax: (650) 725-8977 (650) 498-5233 (Biostatistics) Fax: (650) 725-6951 URL: http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~hastie address: room 104, Department of Statistics, Sequoia Hall 390 Serra Mall, Stanford University, CA 94305-4065 -------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative text/enriched version deleted]]
