Please followup to mailman-developers@python.org, preferably with a patch. Rationale: It would not be that hard to add to Mailman an HTML digest generator that could be used by a text-only list like emacs-devel, and a per-user option to enable it. But I doubt that any of the usual suspects will volunteer to do so, because it would not be generally useful. Rather, most people would want it to work with all kinds of mail in the digest, and that would be a lot of work to do at all, and very hard to do acceptably well. OTOH, a MIME digest is simply a sequence of RFC 822 message parts, so navigation is trivial. It should be left to the MUA. A decent MUA will offer you at least the options of (1) "exploding" the digest so that the messages are integrated with existing threads in your inbox, or (2) reading the digest as a folder.
