The problem is that they don't really Digest or pack anything, or save any space, or do anything except collate a bunch of stuff into a multipart sandwich. There's precious little of use to be done with them that you couldn't do just as easily by getting individual messages and putting them into a folder, which more mail agents can successfully do than will handle all the exploding and stuff.
As the original poster said, they are useless for the thing Digests were really good for, which was saving a lot of overhead and scanning a day's traffic in a single read. I am glad of the fact that 1153 will never go away. --On Wednesday, November 28, 2001 10:42 AM -0800 J C Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > MIME digests solve several problems, not least of which is providing > a message packing format which is easily burst back into it original > component messages. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
