There has been some discussion on the email list about the numbers of users who actually get the list in digest form. This poll is to help us understand the numbers.

I use the daily digest, and unfortunately, it either comes in ASCII text format or my mailer displays it that way.   It can't be made easier to read by formating.  The real challenge is not being able to jump right to the new messages and skip the threads that follow.  If the index at the top were hyperlinked to the actual message it refers to, that would be a big help.  It's horrible to read, and very frustrating.  At the moment, I'm subscribed for both individual messages and digest.  The individual messages show the sender and the title.  The digest just shows "digest", so there's no real way to know what's in it without wading through it.  Luckily, there is almost always really interesting material that makes it worth it!  It's still painful.

Kaye the default for the digest is plain text but you can turn that off and it will be sent as MIME which will display nicer.

If you go to the discussion list page http://actkm.org/mailman/listinfo/actkm_actkm.org and scroll to the bottom you can login and change the setting.
