Subscribing in digest mode allows me to receive one cumulative post per day

which is something many people can appreciate (at least those who subscribe to mailing list, and then complain because they are interrupted in their work by too many new mails arriving)

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.

Well, sorry, too bad for them ! :-)

So if you allow the digest version

Digest version is something the (knowledgeable) user enables in the personal setting.

I may agree it would not be a good idea for the list administrator to configure a list to send MIME digests *as default*, but it is good for users to be able to enable them.
