There is a digest available (don't know how), but you are far better 
off by installing a good mail reader like Pegasus/WinPmail. You can 
then filter all incoming mail and move it to separate mail folders, 
with each mailinglist its own folder (filtering on the From: or Reply-To: line 
works best). I handle more than a dozen lists this way, and for me 
the Nikon and Medium Format digest are a major PITA. Everything is 
less efficient: 
- - reading (can't delete on subject, you have to scroll down, trying to 
remember where the message approximately was)
- - storing (for one single message you have to store dozens)
- - replying (no subject line)
