I just switched to digest because of the volume of emails and lately the reponses inside the body of the email was not matching the subject heading. The past few days I have been following threads I was initially interested in but the responses took such turns as..."good luck with that", "oops I made a mistake" or other responses that conveyed no real information. To open that email, read it only to find out that the thread eroded and gave me no information turned out to be a waste of time for me. That is fine for people to make comment, that is what these forums are for..communication...and good communication. But for me, it is about time and how I use it.
I use digest for almost all my other groups..this way I can open it, scan down the digest and pick and choose what I read, rather then read, deleted, read delete. etc.On one group sometimes there is nothing that interests me, so it saves the time of reading ten or more emails. When I want to save an email and keep it for reference, I just copy and paste it into a new email , rename it for my own use and keep it in a new folder.
It comes down to personal preferences.
