-2.6 The Digest Options Category</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>
-Digest delivery is a way to bundle many articles together into one
-package, which can be delivered once per day (if there were any posted
-articles), or whenever the package is bigger than a specified limit.
-Some users may prefer this style of delivery for higher traffic lists
-since they will receive fewer messages.
-
-<P>
-Mailman supports two standard digest formats, and if digests are
-enabled, users can select which of the two formats they receive. 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>

-<DL>
-<DT><A NAME="foot182">... immediately</A><A
