[Mailman-Users] Digests for this list

[John DeCarlo]

Warren,

How do you set up digests on the lists you run?

Because the related question is why the Mailman 2.1 defaults are to send 
a digest when it hits a certain size (30 K).

I can't speak for Barry, but in deference to people with slow email 
access, keeping the size of each digest down makes it easier to download 
them.  Though one can argue that there is little difference between one 
90 K digest in a day and 3 30 K digests in a day.

Thanks for your message, since I hadn't noticed I was sending out 
multiple digests every day, too.  So I went and changed the maximum size 
to 500 K, and checked to send a digest out every day whether you hit the 
size or not.
