In addition, you don't have to get digests. You can receive each
message seperatly. This list seems to not get that much activity, so
there are only a few messages a day anyway. Just go to
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32, select the edit
options button and after you enter your address and password, set
Digest Mode to 'off'. After submitting you changes, you will get each
message when it is sent to the list. In adition, the subject will be
retained, which makes it easier to follow a ceretain dicussion. And
seeing you have a gmail account. Gmail will actually list all
responces with the same subject as one conversation, which makes it
really easy to follow dicussions.
