Dear Leo, How many times the digest is sent out each day depends on how many messages are sent each day and how long they are. A new one is triggered when a size threshold is reached. The size was set long ago when someone on this list who had limited storage space requested that it not get too big because then the messages were truncated and the last ones were left out. When most people include the previous message in their messages as a great number of people did today, extra digests are sent out since the size that is triggered is reached rather rapidly. And when someone responds to the digest by including the whole digest as someone did today, another digest is triggered immediately. Most days there is only one digest. I can increase the size before a digest is triggered, but I need to hear from some of the digest subscribers first to make sure this will work for everyone. Please send me feedback privately, not via the list. The best way to limit the number of digests is for people to stop including all of the previous message in their replies. But I know no way to get people to do that. Mary Sue
