The categories proposed that would be on a list that would be digestable
would be (based upon what Barry wrote):

>>>> 2.  Announcements of new and updated WG charters & WG closures = 44
>>>> 5.  Announcements of new RFCs = 275
>>>> 7.  Announcements of document actions = 175

So, we'd need to not include Last Call Announcements in that list.
Then would it work for you?

A thing that I like about the digest option is that the archives (and IMAP)
would have the individual messages.
