Most people on digest are getting "Plain Text" which is often cumbersome for a variety of reasons. There are two additional possibilities: MIME and RSS FEED.
PLAIN TEXT (one text message with all posts contained) When you sign up for digest you are put on PLAIN TEXT because it is the most compatible format. This bundles all the day's messages into one text message. No HTML formatting so the only links will be URL's. MIME (sends messages as attachments) This still comes as a single daily message, but instead of have each posting listed sequentially in a single, long message, an index message comes, listing each of the daily postings, and each posting comes as an attachment. The MIME form of the digest can be easier to read but requires the reader to open individual attachments (this can be confusing). You can try the MIME version by changing your settings at http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org. RSS FEED (another form of subscription) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml The link above will take you to the RSS feed for this list. It's basically just a list of recent messages. Think of it like a newspaper where everyday you get the "articles" from the list. If you click on the "Subscribe" link, it will put a "bookmark" in your browser so you can easily return to the site. Some people use an RSS service to list all of their subscriptions because it offers a lot of options (these are usually free). I use http://www.newsgator.com. ARCHIVES http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive A link to the archives is at the end of every message. Of all the choices this might be the "cleanest" way to view the list traffic. You can search the list and also sort by date or by thread. If you haven't every visited the archives, I encourage you to take a look at it as an alternative wading through a long digest.
