And it totally breaks threading - few people remember to fix the subject field and it never propagates reference headers. For people who don't want to receive every message immediately, there are solutions like browsing the archives and (in theory) RSS feeds. These are read-only, of course, but if I ran a list I would reject replies to digests emails anyway. For the bandwidth-conscious I would propose a list manager extension that allows you to request that a group of messages be re-sent to you. That might be nice to have in any case. If the issue is merely that you don't like being notified about trivial mail every 5 minutes when you're trying to get something done, have the list mail routed into a folder. Apple Mail still goes ding, but you learn to ignore that, and new mail in a folder doesn't count toward Mail's unread mail badge count.

Re: My subscription is screwed up.
Same thing here. I get every post, after trying multiple times to change settings to the digest version. I even unsubscribed, hoping this might toggle the settings, but I continued to get everything! However I didn't try toggling from individual post back to digest as suggested, so I'll try that.

My subscription is screwed up.
I am supposed to received the digest version of G-Group and this week I also started getting individual posts starting with 1350 last weekend. How do I fix this?
