Digest guy here: I subscribe to a bunch of forums like this and I work in 'High Throughput' environment. I don't save all of the posts either, I read the daily digests and archive the juicy bits. I hope that sheds some light on a different method for you.

Perhaps tomorrow someone who reads in digest mode will take the time to tell me why they prefer it. (I'm not advocating that BLU turn it off. I just want to know why people choose it -- 20%, apparently -- since it has never made sense to me.) -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.
