Part of the problem is the antiquated list mechanics, but Mike is an old DOS fan. It would seem that this list is one of few that is still using this old format. There are options, one I stated before, don't use the digest version, set up a mailbox in Outlook (if you use that) and set the rules to deliver individual messages to it. Anything with <RCSE> in the subject for example. You get the messages faster, they all are listed by chronological order, and you can easily peruse the headers in one glance to see what is of interest without opening any mail.
Other solutions is to go to one of several web based mirrors for RCSE, I think yahoo groups, and Lift zone are two. I find these cumbersome, but for folks struggling with the Majordomo list mechanics, it is a web based GUI that is easy.
