People using digests usually don't know how to reply using them and cause a lot of problems. Please don't be the source of problems. Using a digested mailing list is hard! You need special tools in order to burst the digest to read and reply to it. As Camaleón writes people that think they might want the digest form would be much better served by using the newsgroups. Or Gmane. Or other web archive reader. I use the mailing list interface. But to avoid the problems of a digest I will suggest Gmane as one of the less objectionable alternatives. Try this.
