Computers are cheap. Bandwidth isn't necessarily cheap. I run with a very high chunking factor because my MTA properly handles it (it can do multiple simultaneous deliveries from a single message, so there is no real cost in just turning off chunking). If this change is made please make it an option. I'd much rather deal with having a few people ask for help unsubscribing every once in a while than to send 130 30kb digests every few hours to hotmail instead of 1 30kb digest to them. My membership base on my largest lists has been fairly static at about 1000 subscribers for over a year, and I don't see this changing anytime soon. What I would like to see is a webpage with a URL like: http://www.phred.org/mailman/unsubscribe/touring that has a single input (user's email address) and which causes a confirmation email to be sent to them. I could put this in the bottom of each message and it would be almost as good as a per-recipient URL. alex ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
