Now I know having digests is going to make some people happy!

Digest options
==============


Can list members choose to receive list traffic bunched in digests?

	YES

Which delivery mode is the default for new users?

	Regular
[digest is the other option. Members can choose to set their option to digest]

When receiving digests, which format is default?

	Plain

[The other option is MIME. I know different mailers vary in the way 
they handle MIME digests]

How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out?

	50
[Considering the volume of link mail maybe 100k would be better?]


Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?

	YES
[An option would be to make the size limit so large that the amout of 
traffic in a day would rarely exceed it? Then there would be mainly 
only one digest email per day]

Header added to every digest

[This is blank at the moment]


Footer added to every digest

[currently the same as the footer for postings]


How often should a new digest volume be started?

	Monthly
[Options are Yearly Monthly Quarterly Weekly	Daily and restarts 
the digest  numbering scheme within a volume]

Should Mailman start a new digest volume?
Note: setting this value performs an immediate action but does not 
modify permanent state.

	NO
[used to force start a new digest]

Should Mailman send the next digest right now, if it is not empty?


Note: setting this value performs an immediate action but does not 
modify permanent state.

	NO
