I know that is how MAIL/NOMAIL and DIGEST/NODIGEST are supposed to work,
but this doesn't always seem to be the case.  On our largest list, with
2300+ subscribers, DIGEST is the default delivery setting.  We have
received numerous comments/complaints/requests that, when a subscriber
sends the MAIL command to replace the current NOMAIL status, they begin
receiving individual messages, rather than digests.  I have attempted to
duplicate this myself with one of my own subscriptions, and I have never
been successful in doing so.  However, I have no doubt that this is
happening to them, because a QUERY verifies the MAIL and lack of a DIGEST
settings.

Can anyone else shed any light on this and/or offer a solution?
