I don't know if this is a problem others are experiencing, but I subscribe to the listserv in digest format, and this comes through as a numbered list of subject lines and senders (by name, not email address) and then one continuous string of the text of all of the emails. There are also individual email attachments, but the file type is very cumbersome to load in a browser. I use yahoo mail, but I assume this may be common to many webmail interfaces?

(And he describes what he sees in Yahoo webmail and offers a suggestion as to how messages could be formatted to make the digests more readable.)

The list has two digest options: "Plain Text" (which worked best with Yahoo webmail as of last year) and "MIME" (which is the best choice if your webmail provider and/or email client supports it, since you can clearly see the separate messages that way).

Use this page: https://mail.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/options/neighborhood to login and change your digest options. It will take a day or so for you to receive a new digest and see how it works. (If you can't remember your list password that page has an option to send it to you.)

I've attached an image of how the Gmail webmail interface shows a digest in "MIME" format. It shows how two messages are separated (although GMail inserts the slightly misleading text "Forwarded Message" also).
