Specifically, is it just me, or are others finding the HTML format confusing?

I've been receiving the digest only for a couple of days, but the content seems very ragged, I would say: "Too much vertical white space"
I feel that a digest should hold just enough data to let me make a decision as to whether i should go online and visit the thread, but no more, otherwise I'm wading through the same volume of data, but formatted in a worse (less-efficient) manner than I would if i went online at 8:00 a.m. each morning and had a session.
I'm not sure how to describe the content.
I figure that in one humongous email with a digest of multiple forums, I'd need
(1) one line holding the forum name and the thread subject
(2) one line(s) holding the body of the post.
It would be nice, but I can't see how to do it, to inhibit the user signatures and other 'fluff" that makes more sense when reading the post online, but to me seems "to be just so much clutter" when reading a digest.
It's been a while since I subscribed to a digest - seven years, maybe, so my memory is perhaps confused by the Good Old Days(TM) when we didn't have big or graphic signatures. (Thunderbird has blocked images, so there's a filter!)
It's hard to select a definitive example, but in the attached screenshot I've outlined the stuff that really seems relevant.
I could bear to have lines glued together so that

Hi Geoff,
Mike can repair this easily, but you'll have to wait at least until after the Super Bowl match.
