I suggest that it probably shouldn't do that. If the editor of the digest
wanted it to come out as seperate articles they would have published it that
way.

But if that particular feature is that important, have it mark the digest
as unread in the .newsrc, and only then fall back to having a seperate
file for the digests.

But since NN currently doesn't support leaving any articles unread at all,
though, it's rather an academic question.
