If we do set up a digest of the list, it will be an option, it's not forced upon users of the existing mailing list

If you want the digest ( if we set one up) you'll have to subscribe to the digest like you subscribe to the mailing list. Then unsubscribe from the mailing list and you'll get all the email of the day, week, or as soon as the digect file is xxKbytes in size, delivered to you in one go.

Personally i cannot see the benifit, but if there's a demand i'll set it up.

So Dave, get out there press some flesh and petition the list users to vote :-)
