Hear hear!  I can't use vm to burst the comp.risks newsgroup (i know,
why is a newsgroup sent out as a digest over usenet?) into anything
readable.  This variable would be especially helpful for this
situation.

What is the standard for digests?  Is it a defacto standard with lots
of implementation details left upto the digest creator and/or readers?
Thanks..
