That's not what I want -- I want a daily Digest to be a readable omnibus of
the discussion that went on in the list that day, with redundant header
cruft removed to save on transmission, storage and confusion. My motto is
"1153 Got It Right" :)
The one thing I wish my mail client gave me - if I do a web based one of my
own some day I will hack this in - is the ability to roll along reading
that honest text digest, and reply to the list OR an individual poster (a
couple of buttons in the subheader would do it) without breaking stride.
