I'm not familiar with what folks use to read digests around here. Way back
when I read digests in other contexts, it was simply a matter of scanning
down the "table of contents" pane and clicking on the articles I wanted to
read.
And, I seem to recall that there's mail clients that will "explode" digests,
at which point the normal e-mail filtering process begins.
But, yes, I got carried away with everyone else and I'm now going to try to
exercise greater restraint.
(This seems cyclical, doesn't it? Flood, followed by folks being good for a
while, then they forget, then flood-time again, rinse & repeat...)
