Yes, you can subscribe in non-digest mode, so that you get all
messages individually. It would then be up to you to configure your
mail client to filter those messages to a folder, etc.

(Adam: is the list defaulting to digest mode for new subscribers? If
so, please change that setting so that non-digest is the default.)

If you go to the page listed at the end of every message
(http://lists.flossmanuals.net/listinfo.cgi/discuss-flossmanuals.net),
you can login to change your mail settings, including whether you get
the digest. If you don't remember your password, you can request it to
be resent to you.

This is a good netiquette practice, and one that I see repeated often
on lists with digests. Even digest aside, it is helpful to trim quoted
material, so that it is clearer what statements one is responding to.
