I read the digest as well, and I second Roger's comments.  But I have
a different suggestion for fixing the problem.  I've been following
the development of Google's Go programming language, and their
golang-nuts Google Group produces some very nice summary emails.  In
contrast to Mailman's digests, the Google Groups summaries eliminate a
lot of quoted text, don't include complete copies of long messages,
and are very quick to skim.  In addition to summary messages, Google
Groups also supports full-message digests, individual mail delivery,
and web-only membership like a forum.  Moving MeeGo-dev to Google
Groups (or something with similar features) would save me quite a bit
of time.
