On the other hand, my compromise works well for me. I receive all posts in digest form, usually no more than one per day. I store them all in folders dedicated to specific groups where the content very quickly is available in Spotight. I cannot count the number of times that using Spotlight has let me avoid repeating queries that have already been asked. If I choose, I read the latest traffic of a thread online prior to getting the next night's digest. Once in a while, a posting to a lightly used group arrives in a group digest several days late. To post replies, I usually go online. Replies from the digest require replacing the "noreply" text in the To line. Generating a new thread in Mail is simple with just a letter or two in the To Line to select the complete group address. But there may be a delay of some hours before it appears in the forum.
