Whilst I tend to agree with Kai - some mailing list managers do it
pretty much as default, and it might be easier to switch to one that
does digests if it supports other useful features as well.

I just filter the LUG mailing list into a "Linux" folder, where all my
other high volume GNU/Linux and free software mailing lists go.

I still get NANOG in digest because I just want to see what those crazy
guys are upto, and usually just browse the content list and bitbucket.
You'd be amazed how many still post to the list using HTML (if you want
to 'own' the Internet you know which NANOG posters to target first ;-).

Although we shouldn't waste too much effort on people who "just want to
keep abreast".
