Mark,
Do you know of an Applescript digest burster that will work with
Claris's Emailer and this list? I have been using R Shapiro's 'Digest -
Extract heuristic', which has served me well on other lists, but doesn't
seem to work with this one.

I personally would hate MIME digests. I prefer good old plain text. I'm
not interested in colours or text enhancements and why go to the bother
of having to open an attachment? The message is more important to me
than how it's wrapped. Plain text, i.e email, is the most efficient.
Peter.
