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="node27.html#sec:digest">8.1</a> for more information on +receiving mail as digests.)</span> + +<p> +To set your digest type 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 "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.
