One -is MIME digests, where each message is an attachment inside a -<span class="mimetype">multipart/digest</span>. This format also contains a summary -table of contents, and of course the an optional header and footer, -and it retains most of the headers of the original messages. - -<P> -The second type is called ``plaintext'' digests because they are -readable in mail readers that don't support MIME. Actually, they -adhere to the <a class="rfc" id='rfcref-1080' xml:id='rfcref-1080' -href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1153.html">RFC 1153</a> digest standard. The retain some, but not -all of the original messages, but can also include a summary and -headers and footers. - -<P> -Like non-digest delivery, you can enable or disable digest delivery, -but you cannot disable both types of delivery. You can specify -different headers and footers for digest and non-digest deliveries. -You cannot personalize digest deliveries. - -<P> -As list administrator, you may want to send an urgent message to all -list members, bypassing the normal digest bundling. To do this, send -the message with a <span class="mailheader">Urgent:</span> header, where the value of the -header is the list administrator's password. Non-digest members will -receive the message like normal, but digest members will receive the -message immediately<A NAME="tex2html7" - HREF="#foot182"><SUP>5</SUP></A>. - -<P> -Here are the variables which control digest delivery: - -<P> -<DL> -<DT><STRONG>digestable</STRONG></DT> -<DD>The option controls whether members can receive digest deliveries - or not. If not, they will be forced to receive immediate - deliveries. You can't disable digests if non-digests are already - disabled. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_is_default</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Controls which style of delivery is the default for new members. - You can choose <em>Regular</em> (non-digest) or <em>Digest</em> - delivery. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>mime_is_default_digest</STRONG></DT> -<DD>If a member is allowed to choose digests, this variable controls - which is the default digest style they will receive. <em>Plain</em> - digests are <a class="rfc" id='rfcref-1082' xml:id='rfcref-1082' -href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1153.html">RFC 1153</a> format as described above. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_size_threshold</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Normally, digest members get at least one message per day, if - there have been any messages posted to the list. However, for - high volume lists, you may want to send out digests when the size - has reached a certain threshold, otherwise, the one digest they - receive could be huge. This variable controls the size threshold - by specifying the maximum digest size in kilobytes. Note that - this threshold isn't exact. Set this variable to zero to specify - that there is no size threshold, in which case no more than one - digest will be sent out per day. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_send_periodic</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This variable actually controls whether or not a digest is sent - daily when the size threshold has not yet been met. If set to - <em>No</em>, then digests will only be sent when they are bigger - than <code>digest_size_threshold</code>. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_header</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This text box lets you enter information that will be included in - the header of every digest message sent through the list. The - same information can go in this header as can go in the - <code>msg_header</code>, except for the personalization variables. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_footer</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Just like with the header, you can add a footer to every message. - The same rules apply to digest footers as apply to digest headers. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>digest_volume_frequency</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Each digest is numbered with a volume and an issue. This variable - controls how often a new digest volume is sent. When the digest - volume number is incremented, the issue number is reset to 1. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>_new_volume</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is an action variable, which forces an increment of the - volume number as soon as you submit the form. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>_send_digest_now</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is another action variable. Select <em>Yes</em>, submit the - form, and the current digest is packaged up and sent to digest - members, regardless of size (well, there has to be at least one - message in the digest). -</DD> -</DL> - -<P> -<BR><HR><H4>Footnotes</H4> -<DL> -<DT><A NAME="foot182">... immediately</A><A - HREF="node19.html#tex2html7"><SUP>5</SUP></A></DT> -<DD>They'll also receive the message in the -digest. - -</DD> -</DL> -<DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<div class='online-navigation'> -<p></p><hr /> -<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> -<tr> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.5 The Non-digest Options" - href="node18.html"><img src='previous.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2 The List Configuration" - href="node8.html"><img src='up.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.7 The Privacy Options" - href="node20.html"><img src='next.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" - href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> -</tr></table> -<div class='online-navigation'> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node18.html">2.5 The Non-digest Options</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node8.html">2 The List Configuration</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node20.html">2.7 The Privacy Options</A> -</div> -</div> -<hr /> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> -</DIV> -<!--End of Navigation Panel--> - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
