This hardly seems charitable.  A mailing list like INFO-VAX is supposed to
embody some sort of community spirit, after all.  Let the folks who **aren't**
reading from 'vanilla' VMS Mail tell the rest of us what they use;  better, let
them develop and contribute something in the public domain to do the job
uniformly for all of us.

If something like this were available, I'd vote for the digest format, too.
(How about some TPU code that 'bursts' the messages when you say 
"current/edit"?)  Without such facility, suffering is indeed what the digest
format inflicts.
