Paul, thanks for that. I guess I still don't understand why this user receives the digested messages from over a 24/48 hour period as opposed to receiving the individual messages as they are sent. None of the other subscribers are getting them like that to my knowledge. These are helpdesk employees, typically student employees,  and they routinely send messages to each other to inquire about changing shifts/times to work. So, they need to receive them rightaway. I added digest=no, but realize that is the default anyway. I am awaiting her response to see if it continues. Thanks again!

Some LISTSERV keywords have default values; digest= is one of them.

	The list owner controls the availability and frequency of digests
	through the "Digest=" list header keyword, which defaults to "Digest=
	No" for lists without an archive and "Digest= Yes,Same,Daily" for
	archived lists.

Apparently, this list is archived, so it defaults to daily digests.
