RANDOM ACCESS DIGESTS?

I like your idea however, how about writing it in something more
transportable than LISP? I want to use it on my home VAX (which
doesn't have a LISP).

Hmm. More transportable than Lisp? What's transportable depends
a lot on what you are on. If I write it as an RMAIL option
using Teco, non-DEC users will bitch that they can't run it,
if I write it in Lisp, people with strange/non-existant versions
of Lisp will complain. How about this, send me/the list your
favorite language/meta-editor to implement it in. I'll add up
the results, write (or at least try to write) it in that
language, and supply the algorythm I use so anyone who was
missed can write their own undigestifier. While we're at it,
how about sending along a wish list of 'neat' features (summary,
automatic replying right, makes your coffee...) you'd like
this thing to have.
