My understanding is that you are offering the ability to receive messages sent to any
lugnet.* group via email.  Does it follow that if on any given day there are 32
messages posted to the lugnet.general group, all the group's email subscribers would
receive 32 seperate messages?  If my understanding is incorrect please adjust my
intellect :)

Assuming I know what I'm talking about, would it be possible to offer a "digest" mode
where you'd only receive one message per day that would contain all new messages for
that day concatenated into one long message with seperate headers?  This would be
vastly preferred by myself as my mailbox tends to get too full as it is.

Yes, that's 100% possible. And probably pretty (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yes, currently by hand...one step at a time. :) I have some things in mind for auto-administration of subscription lists because I won't want to do it by hand forever. It won't be very fancy but it'll get the job done. --Todd (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
