+Replace listname in the example subject headers with the listname to which

|
|
+the same list or multiple lists) with one email you can do so by writing
|
|
|
+junk in the subject header like "hello" and then put the commands in the

+body of the message instead.

+All lists have the digest mode available and you can set yourself to
|
|
|
+digest mode, after you subscribe to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
|
|
+cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
|
|
+the list and instead you will receive one email daily containing all
|
|
|
+the messages posted to the list that day.

+There is a second digest mode called digest2. When you are set to this
|
|
|
+mode you will receive the daily digests but you will also continue to
|
|
|
+receive the individual messages to the lists are they are posted. To
|
|
|
+set yourself to this mode write <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> instead of
|
|
|
+<emphasis>digest</emphasis> in the subject header.

+If you are going to be away for a while or wish to stop receiving

+yourself to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing
|
|
|
+yourself, but you don't have to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
|
|
+then later through the subscribe process again.
