Some mailing list software (such as LSoft's Listserv) allow the user to decide whether
to receive each item in a separate mail, or in a standard flat-ascii digest,
or a mime/multipart format digest.

I have no clue as to whether Mailman supports it, however - merely that it's
not a totally outrageous request, and it's at least theoretically doable...

(Incidentally, getting a digest as a mime/multipart is a *BIG* win if your
mail software deals well with it, especially if (for example) somebody attaches
a .tar.gz or .zip of data to the mail - if your MUA does multipart well, it's
just as easy as handling any other .tar.gz attached to a mail.  If it shows up
as a flat-ascii, you're going to have some hand-editing to recover that
attachment....)
