There was a discussion about this on the HP/Agilent Yahoo group a week or
two ago. Someone mentioned that some other group he was a member of, anyone
that receives the digest was on 'permanent moderation' so if ever they
replied to a digest, it would be blocked. If they replied to a non-digest
message, the moderator would let it pass. This does not seem unreasonable
to me, because it inconveniences a lot of people to have a subject such as
the month of the digest, rather than something more specific.
