Hmm... because usenet sucks?
mailing list digests aren't very nice at all, at least I don't like them much.
I just set up procmail to pre-sort my mail for me (>20 lists). I use Outlook 2k (no jokes please) for reading my mail through IMAP, and everything 'just works.'
In the bad old days of pop3, I had numerous filtering/sorting rules in place to sort my messages as they came down. I hope I never have to do it that way again.

Just curious (and forgive me if this is one of those holy war kind of questions - I don't mean to be flame-bait). Is there a reason this is a mailing list instead of a newsgroup?
(Getting 3+ digests per day (unthreaded) is kind of cumbersome and doesn't seem like the most efficient system....) I just joined the digest list a week or so ago, and it's been very useful, but a bit awkward to read through. Many BSD releated newsgroups get significantly less message volume than this list.
