Any tricks to jump from message to message in mailing list Digests
received as single long email messages?

The one I'm currently subscribed to apparently does not arrive in "MIME
Digest" format because I have the "Receive MIME Digests as Attachments"
preference checked, and the messages are not split into individual email
messages as the manual says should happen.

And, doing repeated Finds on "Subject:" within the long message
generally leaves that line near the bottom of the page.

In order for the "Receive MIME Digests as Attachments" preference to
work, two other things need to happen. The listserver must support mime
digests and you must subscribe to the mime digest rather than the
regular digest. Check your list welcome message (you did keep it, didn't
you? :) It should tell you if mime digests are available and how to get
them. If you don't have the welcome message, check the list's web page
if it has one or contact the listmom.

I don't know if this directly relates to your situation, but Google
groups and Yahoo groups are becoming increasingly popular. Both offer
the option to receive digest but the format of the digests doesn't
follow the traditional digest form - at least my preferred method,
Digest Viewer, doesn't work on them. I'm disappointed especially that
the Low End Mac lists have gone to Google groups.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
