They can then resume the flow of mail when they return by use of a simple command. For that matter, if they are nuked, they need only re-subscribe - again, a simple one-line email message. A lot less work for the subscriber, frankly, than it is for the list owner to wade through the error messages they are generating. > >How about the full mailbox causes them to automatically be set to digest >as an interim step?
