Also what happens with the digest is that the emails come in on it,
after they have been sent and sometimes quite a lot of hours later.
Sometimes emails simply aren't really that relevant anymore if at all
really, once it's hours later, so that's one of the many reasons as to
why people using the digest may want to be subscribed to the mailing
list not using the digest in the other way instead.

To people using the digest by choice, why bother? Internet communication
is very much so about more instant communication in general now.

It's irrelevant really, but I guess what could happen with these digest
named thread's on mailing lists is someone could probably reply to the
digest and end up with the same subject as someone else who had already
replied on the mailing list using that subject, and that could confuse
things, who is replying to which email?
