In the last couple of weeks, this list has generated around 75-100 messages a day. if you have new mail notification turned on in your email client (and there are good reasons to do so), that would been 75-100 notices for non-urgent messages. On Digest, that would be only 3 or 4 a day.
I don't know about other mail clients but you Apple Mail only gives you a visual alert (a badge on the Mail icon in the Dock) when you have new messages in your Inbox. If your list mail is shunted to a separate folder, it will give you an (optional) audio alert when the first new message arrives, and then not bother you again until you switch to Mail. So you would not have 75-100 interruptions -- only one (until you switch to Mail), and even then, it would be clear -- without even switching to Mail -- that the new message was from a mailing list and wasn't potentially important private correspondence.
I don't know if the Digest is threaded by message topic,
It's not.
Er, the mailing list software sets the reply to address on list posts to include both the list and the original poster's address.
No it doesn't. (It does this when I reply to _you_ for some reason, but not for anybody else on the list.)
