I have had experience using a digest form and found it made me lose interest
in the group. The non digest form gives you more control eg. delete or read
the ones with particular subject headings, read one or two and read more
another day. When they are in a digest they are just one under the next
including all the text from previous messages. I found it messy.

Other listservs do permit a member to receive all
messages in a digest format. When I did that before,
digest meant that all message for a given time
period came bundled together in a huge package. It
was very cumbersome to read, review and respond.
I got the digest form by sending a digest command
to the support resource for the listserv.
I don't know whether xmca is set up that way.
