I will admit to being an old Internet fan, having used that before the Web existed and the place turned into a sewer. If you search the history of computer conferencing, you will come across EIES. I worked on that system.
The list is no longer Majordomo, it's a different now antiquated product that runs on a microsoft server. I have no control over the server.
Some day, RCSE needs to be retired.

It would seem that this list is one of few that is still using this old format. There are options, one I stated before, don't use the digest version, set up a mailbox in Outlook (if you use that) and set the rules to deliver individual messages to it. Anything with <RCSE> in the subject for example. You get the messages faster, they all are listed by chronological order, and you can easily peruse the headers in one glance to see what is of interest without opening any mail.
Other solutions is to go to one of several web based mirrors for RCSE, I think yahoo groups, and Lift zone are two. I find these cumbersome, but for folks struggling with the Majordomo list mechanics, it is a web based GUI that is easy.

It makes the digest unreadable. Worse, those that send HTML and text in a multi-part MIME message.
