I do not know whether it is complicated to change the majordomo to a
additional digest mode and I'd appreciate it really, when this list
becomes more convenient to all people, but I have a question: 
What is the problem in filtering the messages? All modern mailers offer
this possibility, and if you are using fine stuff like elm or even the
Unix command mail, then procmail will do a pretty job for you. On DOS I
suggest crosspoint.

BTW: To me the biggest disadvantage of a digest is, that I cannot read
in topic sorted way (and to me THIS is the most important thing).
