* Is a Digest Version of this List Available? @ 2021-09-21 17:30 Terry Buchanan <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Terry Buchanan @ 2021-09-21 17:30 UTC (permalink / raw) To: [email protected] <[email protected]> I just signed up today. So I am sorry if this is a not-so-smart question, but is there someway to configure the Mailing Lists to deliver only Daily Digest versions, instead of the live updating? I looked in a few different areas on the listsever website to find the answer. But after I started going around in the same circles over and over again, I thought I would try my first time to use this list to get the answer! Thanks,TB ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

We (actually, Magnus Hagander) wrote our own mailing list manager and decided early on that digests were not on the list of requirements. Rather the opposite: replies coming from people that consume the digest versions are typically horrible (because they tend to quote the entire *digest* rather than just the entire *message* they reply to), threading no longer works, etc. -- Álvaro Herrera ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

Thanks. By the way, that Mangus name sounds so familiar. Did he also make the ram logo for GNU?

There seem to be three mistakes or points of confusion here: 1. the GNU logo is not a ram (male sheep) but a species of antelope; 2. it's Magnus, not Mangus; and 3. he doesn't typically extol his virtues as a graphical designer. GNU lists credits for their logos: https://www.gnu.org/graphics/graphics.en.html and there are no Manguses there, nor there is any Magnus. -- Álvaro Herrera Valdivia, Chile — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread
