How do you set up digests on the lists you run?
Because the related question is why the Mailman 2.1 defaults are to send a digest when it hits a certain size (30 K).
I can't speak for Barry, but in deference to people with slow email access, keeping the size of each digest down makes it easier to download them. Though one can argue that there is little difference between one 90 K digest in a day and 3 30 K digests in a day.
Thanks for your message, since I hadn't noticed I was sending out multiple digests every day, too. So I went and changed the maximum size to 500 K, and checked to send a digest out every day whether you hit the size or not.

Just out of curiosity, I get several digests a day from this list. The 'norm' for digests (elsewhere) is to send digests daily (unless size is extraordinary). If that isn't fast enough, users can select regular delivery or regularly review the archives for responses to their messages. Was sending daily considered? Rejected? Worth reconsidering?
