OK, I get it. That does sound nice, but it seems that Pegasus is the
only mailer that does that.

For a mailing list, I don't see how this would be much different than
receiving messages individually, then filtering them to a folder.
Frankly, I don't understand why people prefer to receive the plain-text
digests, except that they don't know how to filter messages to folders.
So much easier to deal with separate messages, I think.
