DIGEST MIME is my preferred listServ setting. Daily bundle of individual messages. Don't know how gMail would clip them but I'm sure they'll try.

Not user friendly. Wonder >what else I have missed [snip] Once there was a conventional digest format that supported replies to single articles. I don't know that remains prevalent, nor that MUAs widely support it. I suppose a digest might be structured as a message with multiple "Content-type: message/rfc822" attachments. I don't know that's customary.
