I'm afraid that sometimes I forget to cut and paste the subject line. but 
then the moderating system usually refuses those posts. the same applies 
to the names of the senders. There seems also to be  a problem with the 
Date/Time stamp on incoming Digests, all are dated < Thursday 01 Jan 1970

which I intend to answer, and then hitting the reply button

You are Correct in that it is Kmail I'm using

Rural yes, it used to be so slow as to be sometimes worthless, but has been 
Pipex 500 solo for some time with a free upgrade to 1000 Solo in the 
Spring/summer. I take the digest, as I take every list I'm subscribed to 
as a digest, as due to unreliable sleep or ability problems I read and 
some times reply to them at times when I'm available, not as they come in.
