I have been on other lists and the same problem came up when the list
started getting more active.

one digest is about the same as 30 individual emails, so you aren't
saving anything and youare depriving yourself of ways to handle the 30
emails because you can's sort a digest.

You probably have it set up incorrectly. Check the previous post I made
regarding how to do it with Eudora.

If the individual MD messages are sorted into an MD folder, you can
delete the entire contents of the md folder the same way you do a
digest. You can also sort by subject, scan the subjects and delete
everything you aren't interested in and save the 3 or 4 messages you are
interested in to read later. You can't do that with a digest.

No one does want that.

With individual messages, the mail program becomes your index.
