Dear List members,
As you may be aware, there is also the option to receive the mailings
which are sent to you through the urban-drainage list in a "digest"
form. Should you decide to choose this option you will receive
messages in blocks, rather than individually (i.e. immediately
when a message is sent). You may find the "digest" option convenient
if you want to reduce the number of incoming email messages. On the
other hand, you will receive some of the messages sent to the list
with a delay. For further information about the "digest" option
, please refer to the paragraphs at the end of this message.
Just as a reminder how to set the digest option properly:
Should you wish to receive the mailings to the urban-drainage list
in the "digest" mode, simply send a message with the contents
set urban-drainage digest
to
[log in to unmask]
(and NOT to [log in to unmask])
Should you have any queries regarding this matter or any other
matter related to the urban-drainage list, please do not hesitate
to contact us under [log in to unmask]
Best regards
Dr Manfred Schuetze
(Co-administrator of the urban-drainage list)
