If by ``digest option'' you mean a (human) moderator who will filter the
messages, then somebody should volunteer to do such a job. If what you
want is just to get the messages spliced together in large chunks (that's
what the digest options usually do), then I guess this depends on whether
such a feature is supported by the list server on DJ's machine, although I
don't see how this could help you: the volume will be the same.
You can make your life easier if you use the comp.os.msdos.djgpp
newsgroup and unsubscribe from the list. The newsgroup and the list are
two-way gated, so you don't need them both. If you can read the
newsgroup, you will only get the messages you find interesting (using
their subject lines).
