is no digest mode for the HECnet list.

    This was asked before, and I'm pretty sure the majordomo we're using for
this list does not support digests.

    I'd be willing to volunteer to host the list using current (more or less)
Gnu Mailman software if people want to switch.   If someone (Johnny??) can
send me a list of the current subscribers, I'll even automatically subscribe
them.   If somebody adds an appropriate forwarding address for
hecnet at update.uu.se, we can even make the change semi-transparent.

    Not only does Gnu have a digest mode (in several different formats, to
boot) but it also has a web accessible UI for subscribing AND a web
accessible archive of past messages.   Yipee!!!

Mailman is NICE. I had to write some custom scripts for it back in my TJU days and it was really easy to do (other than being written in python that is). :)
