Yes yes yes. As information officer for a university, I subscribe to many lists. Most are available in digest format and it simplifies my task considerably. DEVEL-L is a high traffic list and in my view should definitely be available in digest format. Otherwise those like me who receive messages from many list will eventually have to succumb to practicality and unsubscribe. DEVEL-L is an important list for me and this office so I continue to struggle on with the volume, but a digest format would be of GREAT assistance.I think there is software available to make the task of digesting quite manageable.
Thank you, Basant Maheswari, for raising the possibility. Brenda Belokrinicev
