When I joined the list, I chose cctech, to reduce the

joined cctalk instead, and get the extra stuff anyway.
Cctech works differently now. For a while now, cctech subscribers and cctalk
subscribers get the exact same posts, _except_ for OT posts, which cctechies
don't get. They're like two interfaces to the same list.
See the other post I am about to send for more clarification.
Then the daily volume of emails got high, so I elected
digest mode. The
digest is nice and compact, but not easy to use. It would be great if the
message list had clickable links to the messages below, but then it would
need to be html or pdf, I suppose. And nobody really wants html mail (me
included).
You can go into your subscription options and have digests sent in MIME
format. Or use the UNIX tool "formail". One of its many applications is to
split digests.
How about a diffent kind of digest: is it possible for
the email digest to
have links to the web versions of the messages?
Not possible with Mailman AFAIK.
