[ale] Why digest mode? (Was: Ale Digest, Vol 15, Issue 89)

Particularly since it is nigh impossible for those of us that want to
"mute" conversations to do so. Replying to digest mails eliminates the
headers that are associated with a particular thread. So an email
client can't decide if the conversation has been killed or not.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
