In case anyone just can't stand those digest problems any more
...and they happen to be Thunderbird users...

Sign Off the digest
Sign On the regular list.

Create new folder in Thunderbird.

When first post comes in, select
Message>Create filter from message.

which is

>From     Contains    Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com
and
Move Message To  (your new folder)


NOW, 

when you open that folder select

View > Sort By  > Threaded

Then you can open the folder, see the messages sorted by thread,
a lot clearer than opening a digest for the subject headings
(and even delete by thread)

Sure, but these days nobody has those old mail
browsers that wouldn't filter messages. (like AOL)


Using the digest actually wrecks the threading of the messages
for everybody else, whether they use GMail or use Thunderbird
...or if they search the archives.

absolutely

Edit messages.
Don't use HTML (which can make the digest unreadable)
