Multiple ways to get the messages is a good idea in principle, But, you lose the immediacy of the responses when something big happens.
Most email programs allow you to create a sub directory from the inbox to collect emails from a group. You don't lose the emails with a digest and I also believe that people tend to quit reading digests after awhile. A sub directory keeps your inbox clean and you can better follow the progress of Open Office.
