However, this is as nothing to the posts which insist on including the
entire text of the message they are replying to. In some cases, these
messages include the entire thread from A to Z. If they also are posted in
HTML, they can constitute the entire Digest (this has happened).
I don't know if this is an available option for this list's
server, but on the lists I admin, I have set the maximum message
size to be less than half the size of the digest volume, e.g. if
I send out a digest whenever the queue gets to 100k, than the
largest individual message accepted is 50k. That won't stop
people from quoting individual messages in their entirety, but it
does stop people from quoting all, or most, of the digest.
