And has anyone tried the RSS feed to see if that would work better? I tried it with another EDUCAUSE list one time and it seemed to work ok but my normal subscription is single mail rather than digest. The options are listed at the bottom of the list archives page. marty Adam Nave wrote:
There are 3 different digest options on the list subscription page, and two different "index" style options. Perhaps one of those will work better with your mail client. http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=SECURITY&A=1 <http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=SECURITY&A=1> Maybe the list maintainer could identify themselves so that this discussion could continue off the list? I couldn't find that info on the website. --Adam On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 1:20 PM, Patrick P Murphy <pmurphy () nrao edu <mailto:pmurphy () nrao edu>> wrote: On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 10:53:56 -0700, Kim Cary <Kim.Cary () PEPPERDINE EDU <mailto:Kim.Cary () PEPPERDINE EDU>> said: > I take this list, as all my lists in digest format.

I second that and I'd argue in favour of a more general text-only policy, for users of pine, mutt, and other text based readers. My mail reader may be old and clunky to some, but it still has features lacking in Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. :-) - Pat [1] http://www.wonderworks.com/vm/ -- Patrick P.
