Ack.

I think "dumb" digests (i.e. which contain all of the ML traffic) aren`t
very
useful at all - but maybe some people like them, though.
Yahoo Groups Archos Mailinglist has "daily digestst subscription" as a
feature
- the user may choose what he likes.
For me, I think ML and web bases archive is enough.
A daily digest, which consolidates the postings needs moderation - and I
don`t
think someone want`s to spend time on this :)
