I actually get it both ways. Individual messages to read, digests for
more compact archival/search purpose (I store them on Info-Newt's FTP
site,too...which reminds me; I need to add the last month or two's
digests to the site....after renumbering them because every time Planet
Newton has a problem with this list the digest seems to reset to V1
#1.....it's about the 3rd or 4th time now. Argh!)
But to each his own. Choice is good.

Claris Emailer 2.0v3 on the MacOS. Although I think many email apps can
do the above. Dunno if any Newton ones can cause I get too much mail
(even without NewtonTalk) for me to want to read it all on my Newton. I
could, but I like to archive a lot of messages, and that's not a Newton's
(or any PDA's) strong suit....until someone comes out with cheap 14GB
memory cards! ;-)
