One of the difference is the fact that the digest version is sent in plain text,
so your HTML tags come through AND YOUR POST IGNORED in most cases...

The last thing anyone wants to see is one sentence of surrounded by 10K of HTML
formatting...

Also, not good to assume things, as a fair amount of the more knowledgeable
people I run into run pine or similar mail clients.
