+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&nbsp;<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&nbsp;<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&nbsp;digest&nbsp;plain</var> or <var>set&nbsp;digest&nbsp;mime</var> or <var>set&nbsp;digest&nbsp;off</var>.
+
+<p>
+Commands can appear
+ in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
+ Section&nbsp;<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&nbsp;<a href="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</a> for more information on plain versus MIME
+ digests.
+</li>
+</ol>
