I will definitely issue an editing patch for 2.1 when it goes gold. Since this is one of their "we don't think you should WANT to do this" hot-buttons, like controlling the List-* headers, I don't want to issue patches for prerelease versions and encourage them to do any counter-engineering.

MIME "Digests" (ultimate misnomer) still suck, even if somebody misidentified them with the words Outlook Express. They exist because the architecture allowed it, not to solve a practical problem. Regardless of terminology, we should make sure that Mailman users know how to avoid them. -
