[Jack Bisceglia]

Thanks,

Hi Jack

You can control it but only at one of two extremes - you get all of it or none of it :-)
 
One option would be to unsubscribe from the list so that you get none of the emails and then follow the mailings on the web at your leasure

Ian,

Would it be possible to setup the list so people could subscribe in 'digest mode'?

Surely Jack (probably others too) would appreciate getting at most a single email a day from the list.

Cheers!

Saludos / Best regards, David Requena

Thanks Ian, appreciate the reply

[Jack Bisceglia]

Now that would be outstanding... The current setup can drive a lot of volume. I've been spending a lot of time on the road and it really can make the in-box scrolling on my Blackberry a chore.

Thanks,

Jack

You are correct and I forgot about that.  There is a digest option I believe on Mailman.   Due to firewall rules etc I cannot reach the configuration screens from home.   I will look into it tomorrow when I get into the office.

I checked the ibm-netrexx admin panels this morning and a digest option is already available, but you have to request it as it is not the default setting.
 
Send an email (from the email address you are registered from) to

"[e-mail]"
 
with the following in the body

set digest xxxx
end
--
 
replacing xxxx with one of the following options
 
    set digest plain
    set digest mime
    set digest off
        When the `digest' option is turned off, you will receive postings
        immediately when they are posted.  Use `set digest plain' if instead
        you want to receive postings bundled into a plain text digest
        (i.e. RFC 1153 digest).  Use `set digest mime' if instead you want to
        receive postings bundled together into a MIME digest.

Another couple of options people might find of use are the following
 
    set delivery on
    set delivery off
        Turn delivery on or off.  This does not unsubscribe you, but instead
        tells Mailman not to deliver messages to you for now.  This is useful
        if you're going on vacation.  Be sure to use `set delivery on' when
        you return from vacation!
