I'd like to suggest that people believe digest is an easier format in
which to receive email because they don't get "so many" emails in a day.
However, it seems to me like it is much slower to review contents of a
digest than to scroll through individual emails (which have individual
subject headers, a big bonus), I can skim through dozens of emails
quickly and delete them even more quickly. In digest format, there are
no subject headers for the digest itself, just "digest and date, number
or whatever". And if a digest contained something I wanted to save, I
had to save the whole darn thing as a document then edit it, title
it..........big time consuming PITA for me. If left saved in email
inbox, then I had to read through the whole thing to find the one or two
posts of interest, and as instructions given point out, replying to an
email from a digest is an even bigger pain. Digest format is just too
cumbersome IMHO. Maybe some people have to pay for each email
downloaded? That is the only reason I'd ever go back to digest.

Two things, though. Remember to trim off the rest of the digest, as
people get frustrated if they receive post after post containing the
whole of the previous digest. Some people are paying extra for their
downloads.
And also very important - remember to change the Subject Line to
reflect what you are writing about, and change it as the conversation
moves on. If your subject line only says Digest No 12345 some people
won't click on to see what it is, and might miss exactly what they need.
