Mary, I'm surprised that it would be working for you at all in that way; it's not supposed to. Ever since the mailing list software was changed from the previous software system (was it called Smartlist?? ...I've forgotten) to the MailMan software, a change which happened YEARS ago, an email address can only be subscribed in EITHER regular mail mode OR digest mode. Not both. That's why most admins have subscribed the -admin account in digest mode, so that they can receive it without having to have a 2nd address subscribed just to get it. If you've never done that, and you've continued to receive both modes, that would seem to be counter to what we've been told by Rootsweb as to how the lists work. With the old system (Smartlist??) there were two separate subscriber lists -- one for regular list mode and one for digest mode, so the same address could be subscribed in both modes. With the MailMan software, there is a single subscriber list that serves both regular mail mode and digest mode. If the "digest" button is checked, the address receives the digest. If the "digest" button isn't checked, the address receives regular mail mode. Because regular mail mode vs. digest is essentially the result of a toggle switch, you really shouldn't be able to receive both at the same address. -- Another Mary On 1/28/2013 7:58 PM, Mary Richardson wrote: > Really?

False. I am still getting both modes, even as admin - same email address.. I also checked and rechecked Mailman subscriptions. David SAMPUBCO On 1/28/2013 6:24 PM, Mary D.

David Is there one or two copies of your address in the member list? Have you subed or unsubed since change to mailman? When the merged the two lists Individual & digest they might not have checked for duplicates. Paul
