[ale] Why digest mode? (Was: Ale Digest, Vol 15, Issue 89)

[James Sumners]

Particularly since it is nigh impossible for those of us that want to
"mute" conversations to do so. Replying to digest mails eliminates the
headers that are associated with a particular thread. So an email
client can't decide if the conversation has been killed or not.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
