No, but you can use mailagent or procmail (both available as Debian packages)
to filter you mail into different folders which IMHO is better than digests.
I use procmail the following regexp in ~/.procmailrc to filter debian-user:
:0: # mail To or CC debian-user
* (^To|^CC|^Resent-).*debian-user@(.*pixar.com|.*yggdrasil.com|.*debian.org)
in.debian-user
It is not as complicated as it looks. The ":0:" line starts a new rule, and
"in.debian-user" ends it by saying that debian-user is my incoming mail
folder. Any mail that has a To:, CC: or Resent: which contains debian-user@
followed by any of the three possible lists (our old one, our new one, and
yggdrasil's gateway) get sorted into that folder. I use similar ones for
other mailing lists.
