This may not be exactly what you want, but I find the best way for me is to
subscribe to individual posts. I have a filter in my email app
(Thunderbird) that redirects all list posts into a separate folder. There
is also a setting to arrange the posts in thread view so you can see
related posts in order by thread. I find this method to be very easy to
read and maintain.
I'm not sure why you're getting garbage in the posts. I have Thunderbird
set to show posts as text-only and I don't see the problem. I've never much
liked Apple Mail so I'm not familiar with its features but maybe it has
something similar to the above.

Does anybody know a a great interface for digests from the LC lists ?
I have two problems...
Ever since I subscribed to the two LC lists many years ago when they first
started I set my subscription options to send digests so that I would not
have oodles of separate eMails sent to me, one each time somebody posted
something. To some extent digests works OK as at the top of the digest you
get the “Today’s Topics” summary and each message/post numbered. I also
get to see who has posted what, which I suspect like you, I use as a
filter. If I see something of interest in the Today’s Topics (although the
topic can often be misleading) from somebody I trust, I scroll down the
digest until I get to the actual post.
Frankly, the scrolling is a pain especially as posts are not grouped by
topic, they are chronologically grouped, plus people often repeat the whole
thread in their reply which makes scrolling arduous.
The second problem I have is that frequently some of the characters in a
post do not show in Apple Mail (what I am using to view the digests) as a
the correct/intended/valid character. I often see question marks and
sometimes other characters in place of what somebody has posted. ex.
“…..pop-up that says ?The ?C++filt? command…..” Of course, it is a
guessing game as to what character the “?” is replacing.
Given that the lists are LC centric, I would have hoped somebody would have
come up with a better interface by now !!
Do you have a better way of keeping up with the lists or know of a stack or
web site that does ?
Many thanks, Bob...
