As promised, this group now has a digested version. It will be generated at 5:15 PM every day, and will contain all the messages posted to the MacGroup list during the previous 24 hours. This way, you can get all the MacGroup messages as one big e-mail, instead of having them dribbled out to you one at a time as they are posted.
You can remain subscribed to the MacGroup list, and things will remain as they are right now, or you can subscribe to the digest. The same messages will eventually appear either way. (I guess a third alternative is to subscribe to both, but I'll let you figure out a reason to do that.) To subscribe to the digest, send an e-mail containing in its body nothing but the word "subscribe" to macgroup-digest-request at erdos.math.louisville.edu After a few minutes, you should get an e-mail message from the list handler telling you how to confirm your subscription. If you subscribe to the digest, you'll eventually want to unsubscribe from the non-digested MacGroup, but I suggest waiting a few days to make sure everything is working. I've no doubt that some things will have to be tweaked before everything's running the way we want. When you're ready to leave the non-digested MacGroup, send an e-mail containing nothing in its body but the word "unsubscribe" to macgroup-request at erdos.math.louisville.edu I'd like to thank Ward Oldham and Jerry Yeager for helping me test out the digest. Jerry, in particular, deserves a big round of applause for writing a Perl program to do some much needed housekeeping. His program will run for real for the first time tomorrow afternoon, so keep your fingers crossed. The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be January 28 For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>. A calendar of activities is at <http://www.calsnet.net/macusers>.
