I'm sure there is a way to do it (I don't know how exactly) but for now you have the archive here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2014-February/100213.html I would suggest not to receive the digest. Peter's messages were sent to the list and not CC'ed to you (which is often considered the correct way) so you would only have seen them in the digest but it's not so easy to follow a thread that way. I also use gmail and what I do is to set a filter that sends all the tutor emails into a particular folder (skip inbox, don't mark as read) and then there's no problem with the emails cluttering up my inbox and no need to receive a digest. When I feel like looking at tutor emails they're in a particular folder for me to look at. When I feel like processing work-related emails etc. then they're in different folders. When I do look at the messages they are threaded by gmail so I don't miss anything in a particular thread.
