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.
