Cctech works differently now. For a while now, cctech subscribers and cctalk
subscribers get the exact same posts, _except_ for OT posts, which cctechies
don't get. They're like two interfaces to the same list.

See the other post I am about to send for more clarification.

You can go into your subscription options and have digests sent in MIME
format. Or use the UNIX tool "formail". One of its many applications is to
split digests.

Not possible with Mailman AFAIK.
