Hello Chad and All,
The digest version was setup to send out a post when the total messages
reached 32 Kb in size, or once per day. Generally if someone sends a picture
in their post or HTML code in their message, it will generally trigger the
32 Kb limit and send out the post.
I have raised the trigger limit today to 128 Kb which should reduce the
number of single message posts for those subscribed using the digest
version.

Related but unrelated item:
WARNING for those not sending their posts in ASCII plain text format.
The GGA Listserve rules of good conduct states: "Posts must be sent in
"Plain Text" ASCII format only.  Rich Text or HTML formats are not allowed
as they cause archive problems, and use excessive bandwidth".

As of March 15th I will begin strictly enforcing the Plain Text - ASCII only
format. If posts are sent using Rich Text, HTML, or other non-ASCII formats
senders will get one warning and then be removed from the list upon the
second non-ASCII post.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is necessary for the continued
operation of the GGA Listserve.
Outlook, and Outlook Express have an option associated with a specific email
address named "Send email using plain text only". I highly recommend
checking the properties for [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your email address
book and make sure the "Plain Text" option is selected.

Thank You for your time and cooperation,

Greg Christenson
GGA Webmaster, Listserve Manager

Subject: [gecko]Subscription settings, digest


Hi all.  Just was curious whether anyone else is having problems with the
"digest" version of this list.  I believe Im set to receive a digest version
of this list, yet repeatedly will receive individual messages, and yet,
multiple digests per day.  Anyone else having trouble, or are my settings
somehow incorrect?  Its not a huge deal, but occasionally Ill get something
like I got today: 1 digest version, and multiple single emails, all in one
fell swoop (they arrived within minutes of each other for a total of 5 new
emails).
Chad
