And would have problems with uncooperative MUAs and uncooperative MUA
users, either of which could take an "interesting" (to the restricted
subscriber) message outside the thread.

Good luck.

Are Topics working well enough to be useful (I haven't tried any)?

Perhaps more useful the list admin could set periods other than "daily"
(millenniumly is tempting but too long ;-)), and the timing (eg, tell me at
6AM, Noon, and 4PM).  Or "per admin or moderator":  tell Barry at 6AM; tell
John at Noon; etc.

A lot of code...would it be used?

A friend sent me a wonderful little bookmarklet for this, for those of you
who don't want to change the source but do get pages of discardables on
occasion.  It works well in Mozilla, although I haven't tried it in anything
else.
