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. --- /usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/eresources/chapter.sgml Sat Jan 20 00:04:18 2001 +++ /tmp/chapter.sgml Wed Jan 31 01:49:38 2001 @@ -368,8 +368,9 @@ Digest lists: Many of the above lists are - also available as digests.
