Well, I provided a justification for why one would subscribe to the Digest (wanting to receive fewer messages per day), and a secondary benefit of that reason (fewer new mail notifications). You responded only to the latter, ignoring the major benefit in order to be insular and tell us how great your own email client is. Here is what you're missing: Not everyone reads email or uses there computers the same way you do. For those people who do things differently, there may be benefits to the Digest that you would not find helpful to you personally. As to the supposed tautology, the list that I subscribe to on Digest has 49.5% of its subscribers on Digest. I don't know the percentage on this list, but Digest mode obviously serves the interests of a lot of people, however little it may serve any of yours. -- David W.
