It would have nothing to do with *sending* the digests, and everything
to do with stopping tards that hit reply to a 70kb digest containing 20
messages, add a single word reply without trimming anything, and spew it
all back to the list.  It also breaks threading when someone replies to
a digest using a mail client that's too dumb to reply to individual
mails in a digest.  Don't "security professionals" know how to use email
for god's sake?
