From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: 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. --- doc/mailman-member/node28.html | 161 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 161 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-member/node28.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-member/node28.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-member/node28.html b/doc/mailman-member/node28.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4c58c01d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-member/node28.html @@ -0,0 +1,161 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +8.2 What are MIME and Plain Text Digests?

+8.2 What are MIME and Plain Text Digests? How do I change which one +I get? (digest option) +

+ +

+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.) + +

+A MIME digest has each message as an attachment inside the message, along +with a summary table of contents. + +

+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. + +

+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. + +

+Note: +This option has no effect if you are not receiving mail bunched +as digests. (See Section 8.1 for more information on +receiving mail as digests.) + +

+To set your digest type using the web interface: + +

    +
  1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 + for more details on how to do this.) +
    2. +
  2. Look for the section marked "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?." + +

    +Set it to "MIME" to receive digests in MIME format, or "Plain text" to + receive digests in plain text format. +

    3. +
+ +

+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 10.1 for +information about changing settings globally. + +

+To set your digest type using the email interface, + +

    +
  1. Send a mail to with the command + set digest plain or set digest mime. + +

    +Commands can appear + in either the body or the subject of the message. (See + Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) +

    2. +
  2. Set it to "plain" to get posts bundled into a plain text digest, + or "mime" to get posts bundled together into a MIME digest. +
