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
