Can anyone explain any advantages (in USENET) that a digest format has over
the normal group article set?

The digest format is a pain-in-the-fingers when using tools like rn, and
is hopeless except for read-only mode.

Digests are acceptable if they mean information collected in another forum
is being fed that would otherwise not be, but I do believe we should try to
minimize the use of digests within USENET wherever possible.

In particular I see no reason why USENET originated articles should be
presented back to USENET in anything other than normal article format.
