> How do I get the submissions in the Digest format for my email? Harold, If your subject lines contain DerbysGen Digest ... then you are already there. To answer your specific question you could send a request to the server itself requesting you be changed to a Digest distribution. So send an email (from your registered email account) to [email protected] with the subject and body containing only 'Set digest' This may require a password, that the listserver software should send you periodically, but I did not have this when I sent a command so possibly not? If the above doesn't work then send an 'unsubscribe' request (subject and body) to the same email address, followed later by a 'subscribe digest' message to the server (no quotes of course). To be a little broader - this list, since the reemergence, has been delivering me 1 message per email (just like a non-digest form) BUT each email says 'DerbysGen Digest Vol x Issue Y' in the subject and also includes a Digest Footer. I looked at other restarted digest emails I get and more than one message is delivered per email. This list is on a different server however, so I am guessing that the server or perhaps the list itself has some global settings that governs what threshold triggers a digest mailing. This list also does not have a listed administrator so maybe that has something to do with the situation? \s\Rick --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
Hi Rick & Harold Rick I am not sure how you know there is no admin as the list is not adoptable at present as far as I can tell, so there should be an admin The reason there is digest in the subject line is I think that Harold has entered that word Harold, as to getting digest mode, neither method suggested would work on these lists unless there has been a recent change I am unaware of To get digest you have two choices From http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/DERBYSGEN.html Either send a mail to the lists admin (first option on the above page) and ask for them to change you to digest (its a function only admin can do) OR From the above page Using the email address you are subscribed to the list with Unsubscribe from the L (list mode) address (send a blank email with unsubscribe in the subject line and body of the mail, it must be to the "request" address) Then send an email to the digest subscribing address (has D in the address) The blued email addresses in the lists home page should generate a new mail if clicked on, if not copy and paste the address into the To address field All Rootsweb lists work in the same way Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 14-Nov-16 12:23 AM, Rick H. wrote: > > How do I get the submissions in the Digest format for my email? > > Harold, > > If your subject lines contain DerbysGen Digest ... then you are already > there. > > To answer your specific question you could send a request to the server > itself requesting you be changed to a Digest distribution.
