I'm cc'ing this from the yahoo mailing list and would likesome feedback...

since phpBB2 is built on the PHP scripting language, it wouldn't be *that* difficult to integrate a digest (or individual emails). The biggest hurdle to overcome is to get your replies to the correct place in the message board. which would entail a mail robot placing incoming emails into the database after numerous security checks. I would imagine the subject line would have to be quite specific for the robot to be able to determine which database and fields to place the info in.
I know Mike has the mail() function, but a mail robot will be needed too.
If anyone is interested in a Dev team, I'm game, but this will take quite some time and A LOT of details to iron out.
but this would give the best of both worlds.

(I'll cc this to the forum and we'll see what comes of it.)

I don't know.
Everyone says the problem is that we're all spread out.
I think we're all here, but are being spread out.
In 10 minutes, I can download all the email (I use email, not the yahoo
interface, which I agree sucks.) and read at my lesiure. I can even be
disconnected from the internet.
Yahoo has a web based interface, and email.
All I want is email, even a digest.
That shouldn't be too hard, should it?
If Mike and Stephen could set that up, then that would end my whingeing, and
I'd happily leave yahoo.
