Ditto.  I get what they are for ... but it seems like that time is  
over.  All types of clients are now much more powerful, storage is  
abundant even on laptops and mobile devices, connections are not that  
fragile.

The use case for Digest is very small - and achievable without list  
support.  Filter to a folder; check that folder for new messages - you  
essentially have Digest.  If someone, like me, filters mail list  
messages to folders you also have robust Search capability - in every  
client, and on every server.

Ditto.
