An example for GNU mailman digest a reply *with marked text* keeps the subject: Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:27:19 +0200 > From: Ralf Mardorf > Subject: Re: [LAU] Text-based sound visualisation? But for Debian digest a "reply" *with marked text* causes: On Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:36:15 +0200, Ralf Mardorf wrote: I mark the text before I push the reply button, to select the quote. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
