I've not bothered to raise this point before, but it is irritating to see HTML mails and multipart messages when one is reading the list in digest mode, since the list software won't strip out the non-textual parts. As a result, one must endure huge messages full of HTML and encoded binaries. Anyway, most of the best textual mail clients probably do choose the most suitable part to display - it's been over five years since I used one of those clients, though, so this is coming from memory. But Outlook, Netscape or any other mail program won't strip things out when receiving digest mode messages due to the stated textual nature of those messages received.
