Get the header of your list and modify the Default-Options=
keyword so that it includes the options: Digest,Repro
(I've forgotten the keyword for Acknowledgements since I don't like
them, all they do is add mail clutter; but the other two
will set all FUTURE subscribers to get a Digest and a copy of their
own messages.) Then put the header back.
To get the same options to apply to all PRESENT subscribers
send a message to LISTSERV
set listname quiet digest for *.*
set listname quiet repro for *.*
The QUIET ensures that LISTSERV doesn't send a message to each
subscriber announcing the changes and confusing most of them. You
will of course announce the changes in a message to the list. It
may of course be possible to include both options in one command but
since I have never had occasion to do so and am not sure how it would
work, I am taking the conservative approach.
