Hi,
	As much as I like to watch and _sometimes_ participate in 
discussions on pine, I think there is a NEED for this list to be able to 
be distributed in digest format.... please?

	I'll assume that another 50% of pine-info subscribers would quote 
the above text and write "me too!" down the bottom :)

cheers,

                      I'm pink, therefore I'm spam.

I don't agree with you.
There is a lot of traffic, I know, but you and others should
probably try to get a mail filter program like procmail (which I use 
too), and seperate Pine-info mail from other mail. At least, that
is what I suspect to be the problem.

I won't.

Hello,

I also would not like to get pine-info discussions in digest format only.
Perhaps it could be available in digest format additionally, but not as a
replacement.

I was just talking to a colleague, and he said that his softball list has 
two modes.  1) Full mailings, 2) Collective mailings every 6 hours.  The 
collective mailings are done such thatk, every 6 hours a file has been 
kept of all mailers that came since that last collective posting, and 
then, after 6 hours, that file is mailed to everyone on the collective 
mailing list.  The list server is smart enough to be able to arrange 
that, at the beginning of the 6 hour mailer, an index of subject lines is 
found to be able to help you browse the file, instead of getting caught 
with this huge file that you feel you have to read every line of.

It's an idea...
