That is your principal problem. Switch to conventional delivery.

I'm sorry, but that amounts to a nonsense statement that does not
transmit any useful information. There's no such thing as a "digest
reader" that I know of, and this would have little or no connection
of any kind to Mosaic.

That's the other barrier to your getting closer to what you want.
Web-based email is somewhat limited in its organizing options compared 
to email programs running on your computer. Using a browser to read
email on a web page is thus far not proving to be an optimum method
for anyone who wants a reasonable amount of control over the way
their emails are presented to them.
