This thread is starting to get off topic, but anyway... > A daily digest is extremely useful for people with limited > connectivity. If you are paying by the minute over a slow > connection, then collecting 50+ emails (with all the requoted > stuff) wouldn't be viable. Same if you pay by the byte. A digest also makes sense for people with a broadband connection who do want to stay tuned to important messages, and thus keep a sound associated with incoming mail, but who don't want to be bothered the whole day long by their PC announcing listmessages coming in. Most of those are not really important, after all.
Subscribing to the digest thus is like subscribing to a newspaper instead of keeping a TV set on the whole day, tuned to CNN: attention has to be paid only once a day. Added bonus: when you travel and have to access your mailbox through a webmail interface, your mailbox will be much cleaner thanks to the smaller number of mails. > > The problem is in human imagination. > > The daily digest option should be remove by > > YahooGroups. Instead use filters. Nope. Receiving >60 listmessages plus quite a bit of work related per day I would be wasting a lot of time switching to the mailclient to check if what just came in was important and stayed in 'inbox' or was just a message from some list that went to the 'list X' folder. Anyway, any filter should be capable of directing the digests to the same folder as the normal listmessages (provided you filter on 'sender') so then the only remaining problem is thread integrity. And that is easily solved by directing all 'Re: [listname] Digest%' to trash... Marc P.S.: for those curious to see how their mailclient handles threats I just changed the subject of this message from '[php-list] Digest Number 1891' to 'Re: Digest Number 1889' ------------------------ Yahoo!
