Plain format digests have messages inline separated by the RFC 1153

MIME format digests have each message as a separate MIME message/

part with partial headers and the MIME message body.
The "Message: n" line is aadded by digest processing as a message
header. Which headers appear in plain and MIME format digests is
controled by the settings MIME_DIGEST_KEEP_HEADERS and
PLAIN_DIGEST_KEEP_HEADERS, both of which include Message: by default.
However, what you actually see in the MIME format digest depends
almost
entirely on the MUA used to view it.
thank you for the detailed reply.
on further investigation, it appears Apple's Mail.app is behaving
unexpectedly
with MIME format digests, when compared to mail(1), mutt(1), and the
web-based
Squirrelmail. Mail.app doesn't present separators in any predictable
fashion, and
includes huge amounts of white space, with no individually-viewable
message option,
as far as I can tell.
Incidentally Squirrelmail, my last-resort reader, presents the
messages quite nicely
as a formatted list of attachments. I have a feeling mutt(1) could do
the same thing
with a bit of tweaking.
