I've been curious about digest mode for a while now.   Does it have benefits 
over
just filtering incoming messages to a folder?   I prefer to drop everything from
midrange-L@midrange.com into my midrange-l folder and then sort through it at my
leisure.  This gives me the added benefit of being able to quickly eliminate
subjects and authors that I don't care to read.

I only mention it because when I first decided that the midrange-l volume was 
too
burdonesome I tried digest-mode and found it to be even more difficult to work
with.  Filtering to a folder is a much more manageable solution.

JMHO,

hiding it from you :)
