Actually Jim, I also read the digest.  I have written a couple
of quick sed scripts that will break the postings into individual
mail messages... then I just read each posting as a separate mail message
using mail -f (this is all on unix).  That makes it easier to
save portions of text and delete things, using all the mailer perks.
Anyone who wants --- I can send you the scripts (if you have unix).
If there's enough interest, I'll post'em.  I can't imagine reading lovehounds
as one huge block.  Cutting and pasting must be hell, even in a good
editor.  Yuck.
