I consider digest mode a nice mode for those that want to stay informed but it is a bad choice for those who want to participate.

I switched to digest mode when there was the umpteenth discussion about how everything we do is bad and everything needs to be overhauled, with
30 messages per day. I really cannot have these come in my mailbox one by one.
It would be better when we used a newsgroup (possibly on a closed server) where you can, with a suitable reader, just kill an entire thread and future replies to it.
For now, digest mode it is.

Email clients can do this. For example, just hit "m" for Mute in Gmail.
Gmail and most other mail clients can display in threaded/conversation view. This means a 30-reply thread takes only one slot in your inbox. It's not a protocol issue, merely a client feature.
