Don't forget other options. I started on the daily digest, but found
it cumbersome to respond to emails when I had to cut and past
so much and remember the names of subjects. I liked the ease
of responding to individual messages without having to clear out
tons of other emails.

When I was receiving individual emails, I'm one of the ones who
struggled with my box filling up if I couldn't get to it every day or
several times a day if there was a virulent flame on. I still didn't
consider the option of just reading online because it felt like I
was leaving the list to not receive mail.

I avoided this till I was going out of the country for two weeks and
had no idea what my internet access would be, so I switched to
only receiving important messages from the webmasters. I have
loved it since. I still read all the messages I want. I can respond
to individual emails easily, and I don't have to worry about
deleting hundreds of emails at a time. More importantly, I'm not
losing emails from friends or business associates who's mail
gets bounced back to them. If there is an email I find especially
pertinent on the list that I want to keep, I simply forward it to
myself.

Just a thought, but it has helped my mailbox a lot.
