This is followed by full text print outs of each post listed above. The Forum Digest Alerts are set up to send to you ONCE a day, UNLESS >88KB is accumulated. In this case, the current digest is sent to you, and we start over collecting more postings. The Open Foum Digest tends to arrive 4 to 6 times daily, and each issue normally includes 40 postings

Terrific!

Am I the only idiot here who doesn’t have the foggiest notion what this is about?

4

I too don’t understand.

Gus has set up a system which will periodically email all of the new posts to you, in “digest” form (batched up with forty or so per email, typically separated by a line of dashes ----- between each post).

This way, you don’t have to use the web to look at the forums, wading through a bunch of old replies and trying to figure out how much of the thread you’ve already seen. You can see just what was added, and only fire up a web browser if you want to post a reply.

I’m curious as to how it handles people editing their posts, though.

Does it work with Linux?

Umm, does e-mail work with Linux? :unamused: :unamused:

I know. I just had this picture of the Penguin and I was itching to use it. Sorry, it was a wasted post. Just fooling around.
