- Jeff McWilliams had a good idea back there!
- I had previously discussed this with Itay Chamiel about the program that
- creates the digest ignoring 'zzzz' in the subject line.
- It should be relatively easy. Just as there are scripts for people that
- use the alt.binaries.pictures groups and other binaries groups to
- automagically cull subjects with 'gif' or 'jpg' in them, it should be just
- as easy to script for 'zzzz'.
- Myself, I don't use one of those. (yet) I just use my 'n' key, but I do
- understand that those that get the digest don't have that option.
- These are computers after all, for Pete's sake! What good is it if they
- can't address a problem that seems to be as simple as the one at hand?
