I avoid the digest for such reasons. Instead I have a filter that sends my Statalist messages to a separate folder. Then I can read or not read and reply or not reply as I wish. With most mail programs filtering is easy. I have filters and folders set up for a lot of other types of messages too. For that matter, the email address I am using here is dedicated to Statalist only, which further helps to cut down on clutter.
