If there *really* are people who want to get it all,
we could create a digested linux-all list.

On the other hand, they can do like I do: subscribe
all interesting into separate addresses (aliases),
which go into separate folders.

As things are, people who are using Yahoo or Hotmail,
or whatever Mail-ISP thing out there are usually
being bounced (and removed) because of the very high
traffic volume at linux-kernel overflowing their
mailboxes already. (Digest won't help them there.)
