Wait, WHAT?  Okay now I know you're trolling us.  Is there *really* a
good reason in 2009 to subscribe to ANY list in digest mode?  I thought
it was just a horrible hack from the days of UUCP and non-threaded
mailers.

And um, shouldn't gmail actually automatically stitch all this together
into a single "conversation" or some other tedious UI wart for you?  I
thought the point was that you'd *search* for "buug" instead of actually
sorting into a folder.

If people on gmail are resorting to *DIGEST* mode, then wow it's more
broken than I imagined!
