[Electronics-talk] replying to digest

I have a regular Dell computer, and only in this particular situation, in 
this particular thread, I also have the issue where the
messages with the whole digest in them take a long time to load. The 
computer goes silent and I wait and nothing happens till I get out. So the 
only thing I can do is what you said, to delete those messages with the 
subject referring to a daily digest, but in my case, only in this particular 
thread.
Go figure.
