I agree! I don't know how the digest system of Majordomo works, but
your idea of a digest being a multi attachment mail is neat. Each
attachment have a title and one can read whichever m,ails one deems
fit. But, alas, it seems this is not to be. 

So, I am of the opinion that before attachments are banned, we should
look into the issues.
