Digests

Groups of posts are called "digests" in Mailman. Rather than get messages one at a time, you can get messages grouped together.

To turn digest mode on or off using the web interface,

  1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section Member options page for more details on how to do this.)
  2. Look for the section marked "Set Digest Mode."

Set it to "On" to receive messages bundled together in digests. Set it to "Off" to receive posts separately.
