Mostly cause of historical reasons. I used to subscribe to the
list. Got too many messages so I subscribed to the digest.
Wanted to reply to individual messages, so I split them up
and stuck it in a folder. Why didn't I just go subscribe
back to the list and stick it in the folder?
It may be totally false but I figure the digest creates
less net traffic than a bunch of individual messages
(better compression? less headers?).
