One of the main criteria I would have for establishing the cutoff limit would be the size of the individual digest, even if this means having to send out more than one digest a day (as in the case of extremely active lists, such as INFO-IBMPC or INFO-MAC). Note that I would prefer to ship out a digest as soon as the limit is reached, whereas Larry would wait till a specified time limit and then split up the thing into as many bits as needed. This may also alleviate the problem of overflowing the A-disk (or wherever the digest is being accumulated). Thanks, Eric, for your continued interest in improving an already great product ! Juan
