Good morning Lea, The digest is a collection of all the mail that has been posted on the ROOTWALKER mail list for a particular span of time. Usually, the Digest will be sent out one time per day, unless the mail volume exceeds the limit that Vanessa has designated as the cut-off. Then, the digest will come out more than one time per day. The digest mail will always duplicate the list mail, but put several of those postings in one email to the recipient. If you are subscribed in both "L" (list) mode and "D" (digest) mode you will receive duplicates of the postings. I hope I have answered your question, which was a good question by the way, to your satisfaction. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/24/01 4:59:50 PM Pacific Daylight Time, lhead@netexas.net writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] Repetition > Date: 4/24/01 4:59:50 PM Pacific Daylight Time > From: lhead@netexas.net (Lea Head) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Hi Stan, > > Why do so many of the messages get repeated in the digest?
