In fact LISTSERV(R) DIGEST does NOT create a one-to-one table of contents
entry with the concatenated postings, but only provides one ToC entry for
the same Subject: postings.

*I* have been very satisfied (since I have a full-time Internet
connection) with an e-mailed INDEX HTML distribution, and then clicking
on "interesting" entries, which "scrolls" my browser to the
full-text.  Here is an example from the SPAM-L list:

Date:     Sun, 22 Apr 2001 08:53:49 -0400
Reply-To: Spam Prevention Discussion List <[log in to unmask]>
Sender: Spam Prevention Discussion List <[log in to unmask]>
X-PH: V4.1@f05n13
From: Automatic digest processor <[log in to unmask]>
Subject:  SPAM-L Digest - 21 Apr 2001 to 22 Apr 2001 - Unfinished
To: Recipients of SPAM-L digests <[log in to unmask]>

There are 7 messages totalling 210 lines in this issue.

Topics collected thus far:

   1. BLOCK: smtp*.wanadoo.fr
   2. MISC: DUL blocking bad or good? (3)
   3. Spam: Yet another Worldcom.co.cr/Sprint ripoff domain:
      www.goldendreamscasino.com
   4. MEDIA: spam and blocking
   5. BLOCK: my spam test scheme (was: who are the real abusers?)

Notice that item 2. has a (3) appended.  This represents that the Digest
has three postings (not necessarily adjacent to one another).  A single
URL would not scroll to all three.

Now the INDEX distribution option would have each and every article as a
URL.  Furthermore, if the first article is viewed via the browser, then
the additional articles with the same Subject: are forward linked on the
WEB page.
