Yuck! Making the digest HTMLized would really really irritate people
that read their mail with non-HTMLized clients. (People whine when
one person sends a message that's got HTML. Imagine the uproar if the
whole digest came this way.)

Well, the digests _ARE_ MIME digests -- that is, a mail client that
_properly_ handles MIME digests will show you the digest as a
"folder" that you should be able to browse through and jump to a
specific message as needed.

Anybody else out there using Netscape 4.5b2 for Mac know how it deals
with digests.

Not at all... And actually, if you're really into HTMLized mail, you
should check out the archives (plug plug) at:
