You can get the mailers to use non-HMTL. I subscribe to a number of
mailing lists in digest form. Two I can think of that are best for me
because of the volume are: beowulf and lustre . Both at 7-bit ASCII,
nothing fancy. I read them both with traditional tools as well
as browser based tools -> my choice.
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?

That capability is not something I've ever seen in the
digests I've tested
on various sites.
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...
