I have my email client set up automatically to move *all* messages from this list to one folder. Right now I have enough spare time to go to that folder every day and read what interests me. I guess that is similar to reading the digest. At times when I am very busy, I just don't look at the Elecraft folder at all. My inbox doesn't show anything from this list. Sure, I might miss an important piece of news about a new product, or an important new feature, etc, but seriously, if I am really busy, I am better off not knowing about those things. When I again have more time available, I can easily go back to the Elecraft folder, and read it all, or just search for interesting keywords. Faster and more convenient than using the archives. The folder takes up a lot of disk space, but that is cheap nowadays. My conclusion: The list is fine as it is.

No, you wouldn't have to go to multiple places. You click your Bookmark for the Elecraft forum - one place. If you like to see EVERYTHING that's new, you click the New Posts button. If you are only interested in the K3, you click the K3 subforum that is a link on the main main of the Elecraft forum. When you're done, you click Mark All Forums Read, and next time you log in, you see what's new. Search is very easy and customizable - by subject, author, title, date range, etc. That alone would cut down on considerable traffic, as the same questions wouldn't be repeated over and over. It's very easy. I read probably half a dozen forums (mostly non-ham) and it's a part of my morning routine. It's a lot less time consuming and cumbersome than reading through emails, filters or not. Of course, the final decision resides with the Elecraft powers-that-be. It surprises me that such a customer-friendly and state-of-the-art group hasn't already taken this step.
