In an attempt to better manage my time in the face of current list
traffic, I attempted to set my ncsg-discuss subscription options to
Digest mode. (That is, all the messages posted over a reasonable
period of time sent in a single message.)<br>
<br>
The server (listserv.syr.edu) refuses, saying "digests not available
for this list".<br>
<br>
Is there some reason why this feature has not been enabled? Most
lists offer this option.<br>
<br>
I'd like to see daily (or even weekly) digests available as an
option.<br>
<br>
The current choices - a deluge of messages or none at all are both
unappealing... and yes, I could create a rule to move them to a
folder - but then they risk being ignored.<br>
<br>
(Before the interrupt-driven folks panic: this is a per-subscriber
choice - one has to opt-in to digest mode delivery.)<br>
<br>
Note that the (mailman-based) NCUC list offers a digest option (but
for some reason it's sending digests several times a day.)<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
