If this is your only digested mailing list, you could just change the 
cron entry for the cron/senddigests task.  By default, it generates the 
periodic digests at noon daily.  You could set it for your given day of 
the week.

If you have additional digested mailing lists that still need to have 
daily periodic (not just thresholded) mailings, you will have to get 
more clever and have multiple crontab entries that use the 
--listname=mylist switch on senddigests to specify which digests are 
processed at which times/days.
