Hi Trevor,
please excuse my late reply; your e-mail was sent when I started
travelling (to Seattle and the DSC and Bioconductor workshops there).
Also, I hope you don't mind if I follow this up on R-help, since
there, the thread started and this does related to it.

isn't that "Thunderbird" ?
"Firefox" the web browser, "Thunderbird" the mail client?

I've now looked at your screen shot and agree this is really not
satisfactory.
{In my good old Emacs VM mail reader things are different: all
is nice with a virtual mail folder of individual messages}
Hmm, I've checked :
The MIME type used for the whole digest is
'Content-Type: multipart/digest'
and then 'Content-Type: message/rfc822'
for each individual message.
Since there *are* mail clients that nicely support these MIME
types, I wonder why thunderbird does not.
I'd say this is clearly a deficiency in thunderbird;
or is it something you could optionally configure to it?
What are other readers' experiences with mailman mailing lists
in digest mode -- using "MIME" type delivery?
Regards,
Martin
