Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this
directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98
directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin
repository.

How do I change which one +I get? (digest option) +</h2> + +<p> +MIME is short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. It is used to +send things by email which are not necessarily simple plain text. (For +example, MIME would be used if you were sending a picture of your dog to +a friend.) + +<p> +A MIME digest has each message as an attachment inside the message, along +with a summary table of contents. + +<p> +A plain text digest is a simpler form of digest, which should be readable +even in mail readers which don't support MIME. The messages are simply put +one after the other into one large text message. + +<p> +Most modern mail programs do support MIME, so you only need to choose +plain text digests if you are having trouble reading the MIME ones. + +<p> +<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> +This option has no effect if you are not receiving mail bunched +as digests.

(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 "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?." + +<p> +Set it to "MIME" to receive digests in MIME format, or "Plain text" to + receive digests in plain text format. +</li> +</ol> + +<p> +This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to +more than one list on the same domain. See Section <a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for +information about changing settings globally. + +<p> +To set your digest type 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>. + +<p> +Commands can appear + in either the body or the subject of the message.
