which is something many people can appreciate (at least those
who subscribe to mailing list, and then complain because they
are interrupted in their work by too many new mails arriving)
How can mail "interrupt"? Turn off noisy bells and whistles, sort
list mail to their proper folders to be read at a suitable time,
and exercise some work discipline! :)
Mail arrives all the time anyway, so people need to be able to
deal with that.

But people don't have proper MUAs, or if they do, many don't know
how to use them.
Well, sorry, too bad for them ! :-)
So if you allow the digest version
Digest version is something the (knowledgeable) user enables in
the personal setting.
As list owner / moderator I can decide to disable this setting,
which is something many people appreciate, as it prevents hard to
read comments on big "blobs" of text, and dysfunctional Subject:
lines.
I may agree it would not be a good idea for the list
administrator to configure a list to send MIME digests *as
default*, but it is good for users to be able to enable them.
