Since you brought this up: may I ask you (and other list digest users)
what is exactly that one gains from list digests, or, in other words,
why this functionality exists in the first place?
This is not a critic to yours or anybody's email habits, just pure
curiosity.
What is the difference between ten message of ten lines each and one
message of one hundred lines? In your words, why can't one afford the
traffic coming one piece at a time, but can afford the same total
amount of text in one message? What is the difference between letting
all the messages arrive individually sitting in their mailbox and
browsing them when one feels like it, versus their collated sequence
arriving once a day, and being read when one feels like it?
The computer beeping 10 instead of one time?
The ISP limiting the number of messages but not the total bandwidth?
Any comment is appreciated.
Ciao,
Marco Fioretti
