is there a digest option available for this list i.e. just one email per

Umm, a digest is the wrong tool for digesting large chunks of mail....
The fetchmail / procmail / spamprobe pipeline is _very_ _very_ good at
digesting, sorting, unspamming even detrolling very large quantities of mail.
My ~/.fetchmailrc, polls the imap server every 10 minutes and feeds
the output to procmail...
======================================================================
set daemon 600
set logfile /home/johnc/log/fetchmail.log
poll mailhost.tait.co.nz with proto imap:
user "XXXXXXX" there has password "XXXXX"
is johnc here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
======================================================================
Here's a small portion of my ~/.promailrc...
It keeps a copy of everything, just in case life screws up (hasn't
happen yet in years of use)
Spamfilter's it with a Bayesian filter. Very effective.
Pulls out two email discussion groups into seperate folders.
Let's the rest through to my inbox.
