8.1 How can I start or stop getting the list posts grouped into one
big email? (digest option)
</h2>
<p>
Groups of posts are called "digests" in Mailman. Rather than get messages
one at a time, you can get messages grouped together. On a moderately busy
list, this typically means you get one email per day, although it may be
more or less frequent depending upon the list.
<p>
You may also want to look at Section <a href="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</a> which discusses MIME
and plain text digests.
<p>
To turn digest mode on or off using the web interface,
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Set Digest Mode."
<p>
Set it to "On" to
receive messages bundled together in digests. Set it to "Off" to
receive posts separately.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To turn digest mode on or off using the email interface,
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set digest plain</var> or <var>set digest mime</var> or <var>set digest off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "off" if you wish to receive individual posts separately,
and to "plain" or "mime" to receive posts grouped into one large mail.
See Section <a href="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</a> for more information on plain versus MIME
digests.
</li>
</ol>
