[ProfessionalDevelopment 1952] Digest FormatTaylor, Jackie jataylor at utk.eduTue Feb 12 08:32:07 EST 2008
Hi All, I'm pleased to see so many enthusiastic discussions. For those worried about #'s of emails, you do have the option to set your subscription into digest format. Digest "bundles" all list emails into one or two emails per day. When the KB size of messages reaches a certain limit, the server automatically bundles them and sends it to you in one compiled message. While that only works well when other subscribers remember to trim all trailing messages, overall I recommend it. The subject line of digests will not be topic-specific, so any replies to digest format often mean the subject line will need adjusting before replying. Also, subscribers using digest format do not receive the information that was posted right away. Because of that, this option may or may not suit everyone's needs. Directions: 1. Visit: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/discussions.html 2. Enter your email address in the space at the bottom "unsubscribe and other options." 3. This takes you to a page where it asks you if you want to unsubscribe or to log in using your password. Log in. (There is a button you can click to have your password emailed to you if you've forgotten it.) 4. Once you've logged in, it gives you several options. Scroll down to where it reads "set digest mode". Click this to "on", then scroll down and click "submit my changes." And voila! You're all set. Please let me know if you have Qs, I'm happy to help.
