A skipped issue means that there were no relevant postings for that particular week. The first part of each digest will include a list of the subject lines from the posts contained in the digest, allowing for a quick check to see if the digest contains anything of specific interest to you. These digests may be plodded through on your newsreader or you may use your mailreader to read each message in the digest separately (assuming your mailreader can read folders in 'mailbox format'). Digest Subject Tags are as follows: DIGEST: Weekly digests containing related messages. DIGEST: Virtual Interface Marketplace. FOR-SALE: Products/items for sale/re-sale. MARKETING: General marketing announcement. WANTED: Entities wanting to obtain hardware/software. DIGEST: Virtual-worlds Info Booth. INFO: General information requests/answers.
