Thanks, Athan...
I try to get it in digest so I can read it all at once at the end of the day. When I was getting it message-by-message, I was finding messages getting lost in my voracious spam-killing mode. I'm trying to learn iptables by watching how you experts help other folks' questions.
Question: Would anybody be interested in a more user-friendly web-based solution for this list, so people could go back and read old threads instead of posing the same questions over 'n' over again? I've got a free one available to me, if you'd like to try it.

Having checked and found this list is run with mailman, and then
checked the options for a list I have admin access to the solution is to
just make the digests 'plain' rather than 'mime'. I presume the former
means you get one big file in mbox style, which may cause some people
problems too I guess. This list is mailman 2.0.11, the one I checked is
2.0.12, so there's not going to be any extra options in this list's
config for it.
Of course you could just read it in normal mode rather than digest ;).
