For info
You may know about digest option for mailbase lists? If so, dont
read on!
I have just found out about it; you get one message a day
containing all the messages sent to the list that day.
My personal experience is:
pros
1.mail sent to you personally doesnt get lost in mailing list
messages- you can tell them apart
2.you get a maximum of one message a day from the list in your
in-box
3.I have tried the idea of unsubscribing from lists with the plan
of browsing the archives, but just dont do it in practice. This
way the messages still come to you.
cons
1. you dont see the subject line for each message in your in-box,
so there's less incentive to open the digest.
2. if you want to reply to someone's message, you need to forward
the message and copy and paste their email. Can't just hit
'reply'.
How to do it
To get messages from a list as a digest, send this email message
to [log in to unmask]
set listname digest
And to receive messages normally, send this message
set listname nodigest
Type the name of your list instead of listname
