Lists may either be digested or non-digested or both. The default is both non-digested and digested - members can select which delivery mode they prefer, to receive each message to the list as a separate email when the message arrives at the list (non-digested), or to receive messages sent to the list collected into a single message that is distributed periodically (digested). If both options remain available, list members will have the opportunity to select either non-digest or digest delivery mode - a single member cannot select both. The default for new list members and the frequency of the distribution of the digest are set by the list administrator under Options for non-digested members.
Options for digested members:
-
- Receive list traffic collected in digests:
- Default is Yes. Setting this option to No means you are disabling the ability of list members to choose receive list messages in digest format.
- Default delivery mode for new members:
- Default is Regular. Setting this option to Digest means new list members will receive postings in digested format. Members may change their delivery mode to receive list messages in digested or non-digested format at any time, providing the list administrator allows both choices.
- Default digest format:
- Default is Plain.
- Digest size:
- Default is 30 Kb, which means the aggregated digested messages must reach a size of 30 Kb before being sent out.
- Daily digest override:
- Default is Yes, which means that even if the contents of digest do not reach the default size by the end of the day, a digested message is sent out containing the current contents.
- Digest header:
- Default is blank. Add text here if you want specific information to be included at the top of every digest message posted.
- Digest footer:
- Footer for messages sent to list members: Default is blank. If you want specific information to appear at the bottom of each message sent to a digested list member, you would include it here. Often included in this footer is information about the mailing list's name and address, as well as a hyperlink to the list information Web page where members may change their list membership options.
- Frequency of digest volume:
- Default is monthly. Other options are yearly, quarterly, weekly, and daily. Depending on the amount of activity on your list, you may wish to set less frequent digest volumes (yearly or monthly for relatively inactive lists) or more frequent digest volumes (weekly or daily for more active lists).
- Start a new digest volume:
- Default is No.
- Send digest now, if not empty:
- Default is No.
