[SG] DIGEST OPTION

Hi Friends,

I'm pasting below a message to list-owners that expands your digest option.
 Keep for future reference if you are using digest or think you might in
the future.

                  What is a MIME Digest?

Here the scenario:

You would like to subscribe to a discussion list but the list generates too
many messages for you to handle during your busy day.  There are several
messages that you would like to read, save or possibly respond to.

You know the obvious SOLUTION is to SET your SUBSCRIPTION options to DIGEST.

However, you do not want to take the time to "cut and paste" each message
that you want to save, reply-to or forward.

The real solution is to set your subscription options to a MIME DIGEST.

All messages will come to you in one DIGEST.  The difference is that the
messages are "independent" and you can reply-to/forward/save a message as
if it was an individual messages.

The MIME DIGEST is a great way to receive messages.  If you have a post
you want to forward to a colleague, simply highlight or open the message
and forward it.  You can add your comments, correct the grammar or
whatever you normally do when forwarding a message.

To set your subscription to the MIME DIGEST, issue the following command:

SET LISTNAME MIME DIGEST

sent it to the list serve at:

<LISTSERV@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU>


For example:

To         : LISTSERV@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU
Subject :
------------------- Message Text ----------------------
SET [LISTNAME] MIME DIGEST


Done deal!
