Though I don't use Forte Agent for email, so don't have actual experience with its bursting feature. Digests drop a lot of headers. Historically, they omit the Message-ID and In-Reply-To headers, and thus completely break threading for new replies. It is better all around to just get individual list messages and arrange to file them off into a folder distinct from your main inbox.

At which point, there seems little point in subscribing to the digest: just get all the actual messages delivered, and use the more powerful filtering built into the mail client. -- \ “[Entrenched media corporations will] maintain the status quo, | `\ or die trying.

They're a terrible way to read lists, and an even worse way to participate - your replies will never be correctly associate with any particular discussion thread and unless you're paying attention, won't even have a decent subject line (which, BTW, is _not_ how discussion threads are connected together). Instead, filter the list messages to their own GMail label and skip your inbox. That way the whole list is off to the side under its own section which you can visit whenever you want to instead of cluttering your inbox. Also, the discussion threads will be nicely collected together, with the most recent at the top where they're easy to see. If the threads you're interested in have a new reply, that thread should be up near the top. Cheers, Cameron Simpson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
