[comp.os.vms] Digest standards?

hamm@BIOVAX.RUTGERS.EDU (06/04/87)

Two people have recently brought up the idea of a digest standard.  This seems
like a wonderful idea if it doesn't already exist.  However, I don't see it
gaining much acceptance unless there is also standard digestify/undigestify 
software around.  Does anyone see any possibility of getting something like
this going?  What we need is a KERMIT-like thing for digests, with people 
writing versions for each of the popular mailers on each of the popular 
operating systems. 

If this happened, I'd vote for digests, too -- but not until then.
