----------
There have been some queries and requests regarding the possibility of a
digest of this list. For those receiving this list by e-mail, you have
noticed that the messages do indeed come in spurts, and yes, one burst
of conversation can result in quite a few incoming messages.
We will be setting up a digest of this list shortly, as an option for
those who receive this via e-mail. This will most likely be in the next
few days, and everybody who receives this list via e-mail will have the
option of changing over to a digest instead of receiving individual
messages.
The advantage to the digest is that you will receive fewer messages in
your inbox. Each digest will normally contain several individual
messages.
The primary disadvantage of a digest is delay. You will not see messages
until another digest issue is full, or until one is forced. This delay
can be up to a week in the worst case.
Another disadvantage of a digest is that it is often more difficult to
follow message threads or reply to a particular thread.
My suggestion is as follows:
If you want to receive the DLV Discussion List messages without delay,
continue to receive individual messages or use the web interface.
If you do not care about delay, and want to mainly skim and review the
DLV Discussion List, change your subscription to the digest version or
use the web interface.
When the digest is set up, it will be announced here. At that time you
will have the option to change from individual messages. Things are not
set up at this time, so please do not request this just yet.
