This size is set fairly huge, so it never seems to be reached - 30 MB.
Strewth! The default Postfix mailbox size is 10 Mbytes.
50M.
Calculate how long it takes a 30 Mbyte message to go through a modem. Imagine if the poor sod waiting for it is downloading something else at the time.
That number is only for splitting off digests if that number is reached before the *daily* archive gets out. As I already said: This number can be changed as it really seems to be set too high.
But I want to hear from people if they would rather get *one* digest per day or up to three or four digests per day.

I read through Gmane, because I never found a mail reader that worked with the mime digests either. I just let the newsreader connect and get the headers, and I only have to download the messages I really want to read.
