Yes, under 1.8b it does say you can have digests on non-archived
lists. But it also says (Appendix B, 1.8b ListOwners manual):
"Again, it is not necessary for the list to be archived to keep a
digest; LISTSERV just attempts to avoid having to store large amounts
of digest data on its private area for lists which, lacking a
'Notebook= Yes,xxx' keyword, do not specify any suitable directory
for the digest data. Conversely, having daily as the default
frequency keeps the additional cost in disk space to a minimum."
This same paragraph is contained under Appendix B for 1.8c. It is
not a requirement, but highly advisable.
