I've got the text digest being built in parallel with the regular digest, 
with the address management being me and a set of push operations.  I'm more 
than willing to give this to anyone who wants it as a set of patch diffs 
between my source and the original.  I suspect that your bastardized .tpl 
would be as good as my hack.

I haven't started on the changes to allow the user to select the digest 
format - at this point I have users who like the MIME form and others who 
hate it, so it can't be a list level thing.  My feeling is that it's going to 
be best done by changing the keywork from 'digest' to 'digest-MIME' and 
'digest-TEXT', but a quick look through the code suggested that changing that 
would be a royal PITA.
