    A digest list is a special form of mail list. It has the same name as its parent list, but with -digest appended. For example if your parent list is called "discuss", then your digest list will be named "discuss-digest".

    Messages sent to the regular list address are accumulated in the list-digest directory. When the digest frequency time is reached, this list will send out a copy of the digest to each member. You can control the digest frequency and the format of the digest messages using this form.
