Then why does it send at least one weeks worth of Digests???

Send:
Put Listname-L Logxxxxx

There are ZERO carriage returns after the log number.  It is then deleted.

Tried it.  It sends a weekly Digest even when the switch to Mail is made
immediately upon subscribing.  (Default sub is Digest)

Remember,
Digest= Daily
Notebook= Weekly

Any clues???
