Digest and other options

[benesch@cebaf.gov (Jay Benesch)]

Since I've gotten a couple of queries directly about the digest option, 
I decided to query listserv HELP SET and post the response: 


Syntax: set <list> [<option> <arg[s]>]
        Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current         
        settings for the specified list. Otherwise change the option to 
        the new value for that list, as follows:

        option can be: mail, password, address, conceal
        arg for mail can be: ack, noack, postpone, digest
        args for password have to be: current-password new-password
        args for address have to be: current-password new-address
        args for conceal can be: yes, no

        'set <list>': get the current option settings for the list
        'set <list> mail ack': your message is sent back to you
        'set <list> mail noack': your message is not sent back to you
        'set <list> mail postpone': no messages will be sent to you 
                until you change mode again
        'set <list> mail digest': your message is not sent back to you.
                New messages are not sent to you as they arrive, but are
                accumulated into digests that are periodically sent to 
                you.
        'set <list> password <current-password> <new-password>': change 
                your password for live access to the system (i.e. for 
                subscriber access privileges when telneting to the 
                system).
        'set <list> address <current-password> <new-address>: change the 
                address you are subscribed with; may not be available on 
                all lists.
        'set <list> conceal yes': remove yourself from 'recipients' and
                'statistics' listings.
        'set <list> conceal no': opposite of previous mode.
