Advanced Mailing List Configuration

Non-Digest Options

[Nov 23, 2009 14:09] Web access to Microsoft Live@edu accounts now works.

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 digested members.

Options for non-digested members:

Subscribers receive list messages immediately:
Default is Yes. Setting this option to No means you are creating a list in which all members will receive the list postings in digest delivery mode. If this option is set to yes, new members will be non-digested members unless they specifically change their non-digested delivery mode to digested delivery mode or the list administrator sets the default delivery mode to digested (see Options for digested members).
Header for messages sent to list members in non-digest delivery mode:
Default is blank. Add text here if you want specific information to be included at the top of every message distributed to a non-digested list member.
Footer for messages sent to non-digested list members:
Default is blank. If you want specific information to appear at the bottom of each message sent to a non-digested 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 hot link to the list information Web page where members may change their list membership options.
Scrub attachments of regular delivery message:
Default is No. When you scrub attachments, they are stored in archive area and links are made in the message so that the member can access via web browser. Note: The links added to messages from which attachments have been "scrubbed" may not contain the original filename's extension.
