With all the talk about the difficulty of dealing with the digest, I threw
together a little awk script that will reformat the digest message into
a format compatible with most Unix MUAs. I tested it with pine, elm and
mail (ugh) and it seem to work ok. I've only had a couple of days worth
of digests to run through it, so no gaurantees that it's perfect. If
anyone is intersted, drop me mail and I'll send it to you. It's around
a hundred lines, so I'd rather not post it to the list.
I usually print the digest off and peruse it while having my morning
coffee. That was fine until I wanted to reply to messages when it
became a real pain. Now, it's a snap :-)
