What's the attraction of digest? it's one email. at email account #1 i don't really read the posts that much. kind of a backup when i'm unable to access email account #2, where i do the same as you with individual posts, threaded in a separate folder. it has twice tipped me off to email problems. once at work and once when the blu server had a hiccup. i agree with you pretty much. but i wouldn't consider a digest evil or even particularly important. i mean, it's not itunes or anything. dsr, what email client do you use? - eric c. http://xkcd.com/488/
