digest
     
        A periodical collection of messages which have been posted to
        a {newsgroup} or {mailing list}.  A digest is prepared by a
        {moderator} who selects articles from the group or list,
        formats them and adds a contents list.  The digest is then
        either mailed to an alternative {mailing list} or posted to an
        alternative newsgroup.
     
        Some {news reader}s and {electronic mail} programs provide
        commands to "undigestify" a digest, i.e. to split it up into
        individual articles which may then be read and saved or
        discarded separately.
