Thomas, There are no technical problems  and the post was meant as a
constructive review of the post change digest.. The digest is better now
with the stripping of html. I would guess that there is an approximate
reduction of unnecessary text of about 10%. However the actual fresh
posts even counting headers still make up only about 1/3  of the digest
content, i.e. twice as much garbage as content. The rest is quoted text,
signatures, etc.  This result based on my informal survey of the last
digest  (my previous post).  I would suggest that to get a meaningful
reduction in clutter a limit on quoted text must be put in place. Maybe
shoot for a reversal of the present content/garbage ratio of 1:2
