  why no ".dat" email digests?...
 
I've tried getting "lugnet.cad.dat" via email (digest) on the "Subscriptions" page ("(URL) I've _never_ gotten any messages for ".dat"... Why? Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 23-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: why no ".dat" email digests?...
 
(...) Because 'lugnet.cad.dat' is retired, inactive, no-longer-in-existence. Unless I misunderstand news-by-mail, you only get messages for groups you specifically subscribe to, not all the subgroups under the specific groups. Steve (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: why no ".dat" email digests?...
 
(...) That's weird, I was thinking it's the exact _opposite_. (In fact, I've arranged my subscriptions based on this premise, that I need only the upper-level groups, that the lower-level groups will be included...) Suz, Todd, which way is correct? (...)

(...) (not Suz or Todd, but...) Steve has the right of it. I'm e-mail subscribed to loc.ca, but I do not see any messages in any of the various loc.ca.foo groups. This is IMO, a good thing. thanks, James (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Todd and/or Suz, If this is so --(Is it?)-- then I'd like to have a feature added to the email subscriptions page, whereby I can _choose_ to subscribe to a group _and_ all of its subgroups as one digest... Please? Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I'm *still* hoping for an official, from-the-Admin answer to the question, "Is this how the email subscription service works?"... (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) AFAIK, that is how it works. When you subscribe to a group, you do not get mails from it's sub groups. Dan (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
