How to change to (or from) the Digest version

When you first subscribe to the mail list it seems to sign you up for the Normal version of the list. But some people don't like or can't handle receiving around a hundred messages per day. If that's you then you'll want to change to the Digest version of the mail list.

Turning the Digest mode on or off is pretty simple. Just go to http://www.egroups.com and type your email address and password (the same ones you registered with) and click the Member Center button.

That will transfer you to the Member Center page where you can:

  • change your email address or password
  • change your user profile
  • log in under a different email address

or, a little further down the page,

  • turn on/off the digest mode
  • turn on/off the No Mail mode
  • Unsubscribe from the list

The No Mail mode is very useful for when you go on vacation or need to suspend the delivery of messages to you by email. You can still read the archives with your browser.

Now would be a good time to read some important guidelines for using mail lists.
