[Mailman-Developers] Proposal for a new menu grouping in MM3webUI

[C Nulk]

Yeah, I took a look at what I wrote and I wasn't as clear as I thought I
was.  By SCHEDULED digest, I mean a digest sent out on a set time period
or frequency (like Years, Months, Weeks, etc.).  Those digests would
have the volume number incremented and the digest number reset to 1.
Any digests sent within (or BETWEEN) the scheduled digests time period /
freq. for whatever reason - size, number of msgs - would increment the
digest number only.   If there are no digests/msgs to send, then the
volume number does not increment.

Thanks Mark,
Chris
