Further to the point, between top posting and lack of editing, the digest

Do you mean the MIME digests produced by mailman ? I totally disagree, they
are one of the best features.
Subscribing in digest mode allows me to receive one cumulative post per day
(about, unless there is more traffic) and deal with them not interrupting my
other activities.
A proper MUA shall allow to read each message in the digest as if it were a
single e-mail (and reply, archive, forward etc. etc.).
But people don't have proper MUAs, or if they do, many don't know
how to use them. So if you allow the digest version, somebody
will respond to one of the messages in the digest version with a
oneliner response which is top posted, followed by the quotation
of the whole digest, and with a pointless Subject: (digest
number) thrown in for good measure.
