The only freebsd-current@ digests I've received recently have been, a) = few and far between, and b) basically unusable. :-( I get something similar to what you describe: a TOC labelled "Topics" = and then the associated messages all run together with no header = information associated with each message, so it's impossible to know = where one message ends and another begins. Furthermore, this digest = comes from "freebsd-current+help@freebsd.org". :-\ It is the only digest I get that is currently formatted that way. Maybe = the others have not been converted over to the new mailing list software = that freebsd-current@ is using? Like you, I like the old way *much* = better. I get the old digests as 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"us-ascii"'.= The new freebsd-current@ comes to me as 'Content-Type: = multipart/digest; boundary=3D...'. It's not clear to me how I can = modify my subscription to get a plain text digest for freebsd-current@ = (or even switch off digest delivery) as my MUA can't make much sense of = the current format. The 'List-Archive: = https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current' indicated in the = mail headers right now is a site that doesn't work (links result in 404 = responses). :-( Cheers, Paul.=
