That's a great solution. I set up an individual imap folder for big
discussions and filter smaller discussions into a generic "lists" imap
folder. Among other benefits, that keeps my inbox Treo-friendly, so I only
get the hot stuff when I sync on the road. I have several beefs with digest
mode, not the least of which is that I find subject lines a convenient way
to follow (and reply to) discussions.
