Okay, here's a bit more on the server settings.

The server does, indeed, send a digest daily, whether or not it has reached
60K.  We can turn that off, but I assume that folks would like it on.
Please let us know if 60K is too low a trigger (in other words, those
receiving digests are getting multiple digests and day and don't like it).
If you're not subscribed to the digest version, your opinion won't be taken
as seriously... ;-)

As for the extra headers, it turns out that they are part of an Internet
standard for mailing lists.  From the Mailman documentation:

"include_rfc2369_headers (general): Should messages from this mailing list
include the RFC 2369 (i.e. List-*) headers? Yes is highly recommended.

"RFC 2369 defines a set of List-* headers that are normally added to every
message sent to the list membership. These greatly aid end-users who are
using standards compliant mail readers. They should normally always be
enabled.

"However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and if you have
a large number of members who are using non-compliant mail readers, they may
be annoyed at these headers. You should first try to educate your members as
to why these headers exist, and how to hide them in their mail clients. As a
last resort you can disable these headers, but this is not recommended (and
in fact, your ability to disable these headers may eventually go away)."

See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html for the details of the standard.

Given that this is an emerging standard, I'm going to leave them on unless
there are very strong objections.

Nick
