well, no. the idea is that digests work like that---but this list is *so*
high traffic that even the digests come fast and furious at times. if
i changeds my subscription to be per-message delivered, i would be a
serious factor in the total, constant load on their mailserver.
i may just set up a machine at work to receive just that mail so i can
have it in message format and use any of the number of mailreaders
that do support threading on messages...but imma see if theres a solution
to keep it delivered to my "mailreading" account here, first.
