[LAF] Digest

[steve ash]

Yes, I was using Digest, because when I was getting individual emails they were getting lost in my multiple filtering system (which includes sending keyword filtered spam messages to the trash, as this email account attracts dozens of spam messages a day, and the normal spam filter wasn't working), 
so I was losing messages. I'll make do the best I can then, but if I don't answer anything important keep sending as I probably won't have seen it.
