Alternative -- once a day, send the list the output of a daily INDEX
NOMIME distribution.

The sizes shown are the number of lines in the messages, not counting mail
headers.

To order the messages you are interested in, simply reply to this message and
include the original text, just as when you are replying to a normal message
and want to quote what your correspondent said. Before sending the message,
delete the lines corresponding to the items you are not interested in, and make
sure your reply is going to "[log in to unmask]", NOT to
"[log in to unmask]".
