Hi, you only care about yourself, try to see the whole situation for users of such MUAs. I for example use an iPad. The iPad doesn't provide sane filter to folder options. I decided against digest, because communication works much faster without the delay caused by collecting messages for the digest. To make it neat, the iPad's MUA collects the mails by thread related folders. If threading is broken, this doesn't work. Replies to digest tend to break the thread more often, than non-digest replies. To make a long story short, especially when using a tablet PC's or mobile phone's MUA without good filter to folder options, the thread is much more important, so digest is much more an issue for those MUAs and far away from being a solution to improve the workflow. By good sense, I've got no doubt, a minority of subscribers share your opinion, but also without doubts, most users don't. I'm not per se against digest, but you example is an argument con digest and not pro.
