I think i better speak up in this discussion....

Being subscriber to ... say 7-10 different mailing lists, i would VERY MUCH
appreciate a Digest Form of the different lists. I receive some 50 messages a 
day from these lists, and i have quite a job seperating them into the proper
folders, not to say how the situation is after (my too short, but anyway) 
holiday... i am sorry to say that some times the only thing to do was 
DELETE ALL. 

And - Yes, i know, there is a way to SET FOLDER TO =.... in the EAN fac. we
are using, but every now and then, this won't work due to badly formatted
mailer-output.

Where does this lead my contribution to the discussion... 

PLEASE GO DIGEST - but, i very much agree with the mourning choir of the 
anti-digest-ives, it really is a problem to skip a message/part of a digest...
Well, if the different DIGESTs had the same format, with an easy-to-recognize
seperator, and the From-field still correct, a patch to the mailing systems
would be ... close to heaven ?
