In the past I've suggested to people wanting DIGESTS that they send mail to LISTSERV with sub listname Your Name set listname digests But with confirmed subscriptions, the "set" command is processed "early", resulting in rejection of it. On a busy list and with people that don't read their mail 24 hours a day, this could lead to a lot of unwanted mail! I do not want to make digests the default, as only 1/3 of subscribers select digests. Is there a workaround?
