[SustainableTompkins] list digest mode, revisited

[Jon Bosak]

(Sorry to use the list for this exchange, but I often have
problems sending mail to Steve)

Steve,

Your message doesn't show the actual settings, just the options.

When you view that page, is the radio button for
"digest_send_periodic" set to Yes or No?

Jon
