No, there is no digest on this list. You may not realise it, but in a way Legacy are doing you a favour by not having a digest - without it, you have a greater opportunity of learning how to manage your mail box more effectively, and realise that digests are not the best way to get the most out of any mailing list. Learn how to set a rule or filter in your mail box. Set one up to direct the incoming list mail to its own folder. That keeps it away from your other (personal) mail, so you can ignore it if you don't have time for it at the moment, and concentrate on it when you do. If there are certain words you like to keep a watch for, set up another rule to pick up those posts that contain those words and do something to make them obvious, like change the colour of the text in the email listing. If you like to group posts with the same subject together, use threading to sort the posts. If you don't like to read posts that are of no interest to you, scan the list of emails before opening any and delete those you don't want to look at. By receiving the individual posts and not a digest (if it were available) you receive the posts in a more timely fashion instead of when the digest happens to be produced. You don't have to wade through screens of past messages when someone has neglected to edit a previous post when replying - just hit delete (or next, or whatever you choose to do to move on) and carry on to the next post.
