Barring that, does anyone know if there is a NICE client (ala NCP) for DECnet on Linux?

I thought there is one, but I may be misremembering. The spec is in the network management architecture document in the DECnet architecture documents set. It's pretty simple.

And I very much prefer digests - for the reasons Bob mentioned - it's
just easier to manage, particularly for high volume like this one.
So how do you skip a thread that you feel is irrelevant, if you have a plain straight text digest?

It sends the digest in html with the messages sorted by
subject and a
table of contents at the top. Just scan the list of topics and
click on any
that you're interested in (conversely, don't click on any that
you aren't!).
Likewise, the web archive displays a tree view of messages
by thread.
Well, that fails it for me then. I hate html formatted mail even more...

The emails themselves aren't actually HTML formatted (unless they were that way to start) it's just wrapping them in a web page.

Among other things, digests are sorted by topic. When a particular chain
of conversation strays far from anything I'm interested in, it's easy to
simply skip it. An alternative, which I use now but find less attractive,
is to create rules that redirect certain HECnet subjects to the trash.
That capability is not something I've ever seen in the digests I've tested on various sites. Does it send a separate digest per topic then?
