>do people ever have digest be the default mode?
Well, it's not for everyone, but I have a list the runs that way, and I really
like it. It's definitely not a standard thing to do, but this is what I do:
1) Everyone is set to DIGEST except me....
2) ... thus, when people post, I see the post right away. If it's something
that really shouldn't go into the digest (such as a spam, or an errant SUB
request etc.)...
3) ... I edit the <listname> DIGEST and <listname> SUBJECTS files and remove
the post. Or I edit the post (like adding a subject if none was supplied,
or making a notation or whatever.)
4) I have a SET exit which keeps people from setting MAIL, though it's a quick
hack and maybe one day I'll write a better one which sends nice mail back
or something.
Of course, if I can't get to the computer, the digest gets distributed without
my intervention, so it's not like a moderated list in that things won't grind
to a stop if the moderator isn't around.
