I'm also afraid, this might happen. I've seen this also on other lists 
before. I think almost any mail account should have capabilites to 
filter emails to a separate folder. If people answer on these digest 
emails, the information where these emails belong is totally lost. I 
don't want to be offensive,  but if one did not even invested time to 
setup a separate folder, sometimes even the digest subject stays.


Especially when you are on a busy list and do not want to follow 
everything it's more easy to get this goal. I attached a file how tree 
view looks, just to show the advantages you can get from it. When 
everything is in a sepearate folder.

This gets impossible when people answer to digests, thats my two cents 
why I think it is a god thing to disallow digests, if there is active 
discussion on a list.
