} It is not documented for Digest. However, if you set something like:
} Digest= Yes,Same,Daily,1900,Size(80k)
} LISTSERV does not complain about the syntax. So you could try it and see

} LISTSERV will cut off at 1500 lines, regardless of what the lines
} contain. So yes, it's the lines in the inbound messages to the digest.

One problem with a line limit or digest size in lines is that many of
today's mailers do not break lines, but send a paragraph as one long
line.  I don't see this as a Listserv bug, just a Listserv limitation.
I strongly suspect that this is why the limits in k were introduced,
and I am glad to see them.  I hope it does work with digest size.
