I’d like it if digests could be either the full text of the emails or just a list of subject lines.
I don’t want to scroll through the full text of every message in the digest. On 3 Apr 2015, at 6:06 am, Tanstaafl <tansta...@libertytrek.org> wrote: On 4/2/2015 1:45 PM, J.B.

Well, liomited bandwidth was never a reason (in my mind) for wanting digest versions of some email lists... The main reason I may choose a digest version of a list is if it is high-volume, and/or I am more of a lurker than participant. In such a case digests makes the Inbox (or folder if they are filtered to one) less cluttered. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/andrew.stuart%40supercoders.com.au ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
