Great to know the never-ending-digest problem's been fixed, as, I see, has
been the bloat into the archive, which is a great feature of the new list
software.

But the monthly archive download settings have also got changed today in
this process.  A few hours ago I could have downloaded any month's-worth of
the list as gzipped files, but now this is plain text -- and they are about
4 times the size of the gzip version.

Is there a possibility of a choice?  Or might users prefer gzip and much
shorter download times?  Gzip is, after all, available for many different
platforms, so it doesn't limit the users to those on Linux/Unix.

It's just that for those not on extremely fast links, to spend extra time
in downloading text via http (at least you get compression with ASCII
transfer under ftp - but that choice isn't offered) it would be nice to
have the faster option.

What's the opinion?

Andrew Parker.
