The 'emacs' editor under Un*x has a feature to let you read digested mail one message at a time, and even delete or keep individual messages from the digest. I don't know the details (I've just gotten started on Un*x, and our Ethernet is busted so I'm not gonna go and look it up now), but it's in the manual somewhere of course. When our Ethernet is fixed, I'm going to subscribe to digested lists on that machine (this machine can gateway), so I can use emacs to read my mail. It's much nicer than hacking out the stuff you don't want with an ordinary editor prior to, say, throwing the file on the printer (and infinitely superior to throwing the *whole* file on the printer).
