Dear colleagues, I am considering a special setup for my list HISTORY. What I want to do is the following: a) all peers of HISTORY remain unchanged, except that I enable the DIGEST- feature where LISTSERV 1.7f is installed - HISTORY has three European peers, and LISTEARN hasn't introduced automatic digests yet. b) I create a new list called HIST-DIG which is subscribed to a nearby HISTORY peer, but is *not* a peer of HISTORY. HIST-DIG's default options are set to DIGEST, so that all subscribers will receive digests rather than single postings. This *should* result in the fact that my European subscribers can either sign off from HISTORY and subscribe to HIST-DIG or set HISTORY to NOMAIL and subscribe to HIST-DIG (whatever they prefer), with the effect that they will from then on receive digested mailings from HISTORY via HIST-DIG. Did I make myself clear? I hope I did, because I'd like to know whether this is setup is possible without causing too many problems, and I'd also like you to tell me whether you find this a good idea. Yours, Thomas Zielke Historisches Seminar Universit{t Oldenburg Postfach 2503 D-W-2900 Oldenburg
