That's one of the few things that Mailman doesn't support directly.
However, I suspect that it may send a digest each day whether or not the 60K
(or whatever) trigger is reached (the limited documentation isn't so clear,
and I'm still getting to know the source code). Therefore, setting the
trigger high enough may result in a daily digest. Let's wait and see what
people say about it.

I have no plans to do that. David is only reading the "Brin:" topic, so his
wouldn't be so big, but if I figure out a way to do his weekly, that'll be a
special deal.

I'll shorten up the various additions as much as seems reasonable, but the
main reason for all the information is to minimize the workload for the
administrators... Again, let's see what others also say.
