Have you considered disabling digest aggregation for your subscription?

You should have received a confirmation e-mail upon first subscribing to
this list containing a URL that enables you to configure your
subscription.  IIUC, it can be disabled from there.

Incidentally, maybe we should disable digests wholesale, like the
FreeType developers have recently done on their list, particularly given
that help-gnu-emacs is a list where users seek assistance, not one where
announcements or other newsworthy materials are posted.  It's a
counterproductive misfeature whose only consequence appears to be
confusion on the part of new subscribers.
