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 <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 <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 digest plain</var> or <var>set digest mime</var> or <var>set digest off</var>.
<P>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <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 <A HREF="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</A> for more information on plain versus MIME
digests.
</LI>
</OL>
