I subscribe in (MIME) digest mode in order to get MIME digest, which is
actually a lot of *individual* messages in one message;-) It's my choice;-) It's
better for archiving, it's more logical for high-traffic lists IMHO, etc.

Yep. But that's another side of this coin. TB treats MIME digests *right now*
awfully: it treats them as an empty message with heaps of attachments, each
of them being a message. Nightmare to read this thing! Unless the developers
do something about it (BTW, in RFCs it's clearly stated that MIME digests
_should_ be treated as *folders* consisting of individual messages, provided
that the OS supports such kind of graphical representation) the only way to
deal with digests is to split them into individual messages, then import to TB.
