Actually, the way the code works (and it works that way because of the
way most browsers work) setting a key to any value, e.g.
user%2540gmail.com_digest=1 or even user%2540gmail.com_digest=0 will
set the corresponding option on. To set an option off for a user you
just include "user=user%2540gmail.com" and omit the
user%2540gmail.com_<option> setting entirely.

Note that this means that

http://domain.com/mailman/admin/listname/members?user=user%2540gmail.com&setmemberopts_btn=1&adminpw=password

will effectively uncheck all the checkboxes for the user. Those that
you want checked such as perhaps nodupes and plain need to be
explicitly mentioned as in


http://domain.com/mailman/admin/listname/members?user=user%2540gmail.com&user%2540gmail.com_nodupes=1&user%2540gmail.com_digest=1&user%2540gmail.com_plain=1&setmemberopts_btn=1&adminpw=password
