emails. So you lose the chance to be part of the back-and-forth type
discussions that go on sometimes. You can still post, just sometiems you're

I don't find that a big issue, personally, and I much prefer the digests.
But many people dislike not being able to sort by subject thread,
auto-delete someone they don't care to read, etc.
If you do switch to digest, remember to change the subject line every time
you hit reply; it always says Digest Number whatever if you don't. Also,
highlight just what you are replying to before hitting reply, or you'll have
to do lots of deleting.
