I don't know the capabilities of Majordomo vs. listserv either, but
Majordomo, I believe, is freeware, so may be less than fully featured.
I find no particular problem with scanning through the subject lines with
the regular list. It goes rapidly and the convenience in replying, for me,
more than makes up for the extra mouse button work.
Only advantage I see for the digest, with or w/o a TOC, is for the lurker,
who seldom, if ever, makes replies. For him, the digest is a bit faster to
get through.
