Hi folks,

I think we should agree to disable the ability to subscribe with digests on bitcoin-dev list. I think digests were from an earlier era of Internet history. Digests are inconvenient for everyone because replies have the problem of breaking threads. These days people should be setting mail filters to separate list mail from other mail. I think digests are really not a net-positive for the community so we should just turn off the ability to do it.

Any objections?

Indeed, for an occasional reader perspective, nightmarish. List signature also a bit annoying but it's possible to live with it.
