Keith, if you use the Emacs Babyl system to read bboards then digest format
is not a problem.

Digest format helps make net traffic more efficient (one large message as
opposed to many small ones), is usually less redundant, and topics for
discussion can be better defined.  I think we could get this out of a
digestified INFO-MICRO and not lose as long as the "intended" topics of
discussion for the bboard remain open-ended.  INFO-MICRO has acted very
successfully as a catch-all for random info tidbits about micros.  That is
something I would not like to see change.

If anyone would like to argue this point please reply to me, I guess we
should keep from cluttering up INFO-MICRO.  The consensus will be made
known if some conclusion is reached.
