I'd vote for fixing this also -- the Digest should have a complete subject
list at top. If I don't see a topic listed that's of major interest (or
something I should answer), I skip rather than scan the rest.

I know I'll probably miss some stuff, esp. if listing isn't complete or
subjects themselves aren't representative of the content, but it's the only
way I can stay subscribed and still involved.
