I doubt LISTSERV has any such facility, but, even if it did or you do something with another system, you'd want to avoid such an approach. There are numerous compression formats; your recipients would need a program that could decipher whicver format you went with, and you'd have to deal with complaints from those who didn't like your format or can't get software for their computer. And, you'd have to use some sort of binary to ASCII converter to make sure that mail gateways don't munch things, and those programs have the same problems as compression programs. Much better would be to break the digest into parts; isn't there a threshold setting for digests, where LISTSERV sends out the digest if it reaches that size? >Thanks.
