>Description:
The description of the -DIGEST lists claims they are sent out
once a day, and several of them claim that the average size is
40kB. This is no longe true, at least for -questions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Subscribe to the -questions digest, and notice that it
sometimes shows up twice a day, and the size is never less
than 100kB.
>Fix:
The attached patch to the english version of the
eresources/chapter.sgml file changes the wording about digests
from "once a day" to "over 100kB". This may not be the case for
all lists, but I can't easily verify that. It also removes the
mention of the mail sizes from the individual lists.
