As to the first, yes.  As to the second, all I know is, with AOL, I could
select a single msg. or portion, out of a digest, and only that would appear
in the Reply.  Not so with my present server.  As I may have said, most of
what the computer does or doesn't/won't do, to my mind is akin to magic, and
there are undoubtedly spells and charms to solve problems.   I've tried "I
tell you three times", but without much success.
ObConlang:  In Kash, computers are probably called _celipin_, a slightly
irregular compound of  'electric' and 'think'. There are no doubt popular
pejorative terms too. Or maybe not, since there was no Pil Ketes or
Mayikrosofot _there_.
