[nabs-l] nabs digests

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Vejas,

The NABS digests come out every day (if it's a busy day on the 
list, which it sometimes is, there might be two or three digests 
in one day) to the people who have their subscription settings 
set to receive those emails.  The digests are just a daily 
collection of all the day's posts batched in one email.  Since 
this is a feature in the Mailman software, you can set your 
subscription to receive digests on all lists you're on that use 
Mailman.  So, you can do this for the BrailleNote list as well.  
If you want to set your
preferences to receive digests for the NABS or any other NFBNET 
lists/lists, go to nfbnet.org, click join or drop NFBNET mailing 
lists, select the list you want, click the link with that list's 
name, and find the form field to put in your subscription email 
address, and click the Unsubscribe or Edit Options button.  From 
the page it next takes you to, type in your password for the 
list.  If you forget it, click the Email Password button and the 
system will send you an email with your password.  Once you've 
clicked the Log In button, it will show you your options for the 
list, which you can change using radio buttons.  You should find 
something about digest mode there.  Once you've changed all the 
settings you want to change, click the save button at the bottom 
of the page.  I personally don't like digests for lists like this 
and Blind Talk, both of which I regularly contribute to, because 
you can't reply to a spesific email.  When I used to receive 
digests from the ACB Students list, I would have to remember each 
subject line of each email I wanted to respond to, and reply to 
the whole digest, putting the subjects of the emails in a heading 
within the email, and then putting my response under it.  As you 
can probably tell, it was a little tedious.  I think you would be 
better off receiving individual emails from the NABS and 
BrailleNote lists so it's easier to contribute to the lists, but 
that's up to you.  If you go to digest mode and don't like it, 
you can always go back in and change your settings.  Hope this 
helps!

Chris

Hi,
I know this may seem a little off topic, but I just joined less
than a month ago, so I just want to get the scoop of things.  How
often does the nabs-like digest come on? Is it consistent, or
does it just happen whatever.
Thanks.
Vejas
