[SustainableTompkins] list digest mode, revisited

[Stephen Nicholson]

Here are the current settings. There must be a problem with mutualaid, not
your administrators

   *Description* *Value*  Can list members choose to receive list traffic
bunched in digests?
(Edit *digestable*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digestable>
  No Yes  Which delivery mode is the default for new users?
(Edit *digest_is_default*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_is_default>
  Regular Digest  When receiving digests, which format is default?
(Edit *mime_is_default_digest*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/mime_is_default_digest>
  Plain MIME  How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out?
(Edit *digest_size_threshhold*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_size_threshhold>
  Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?

(Edit *digest_send_periodic*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_send_periodic>
  No Yes  Header added to every digest
(Details for *digest_header*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_header>
  Footer added to every digest
(Details for *digest_footer*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_footer>
_______________________________________________ %(real_name)s mailing list
%(real_name)s@%(host_name)s
%(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s  How often should a
new digest volume be started?
(Details for *digest_volume_frequency*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/digest_volume_frequency>
  Yearly Monthly Quarterly Weekly Daily  Should Mailman start a new digest
volume?
(Details for *_new_volume*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/_new_volume>

*Note: setting this value performs an immediate action but does not modify
permanent state.*
  No Yes  Should Mailman send the next digest right now, if it is not empty?

(Edit *_send_digest_now*)<http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/admin/sustainabletompkins/?VARHELP=digest/_send_digest_now>

*Note: setting this value performs an immediate action but does not modify
permanent state.*
  No Yes
