|

| 6 | The modes themselves are set by writing
|

|

| 9 | <para>As the name implies, the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells what
|
|---|
| 10 | to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
|
|---|
| 11 | what to write to unset a mode.</para>

| 13 | <para>The word "listname" in the example subject headers below should be
|

| 14 | replaced with the listname to which the mode is going to be applied.
|
|---|
| 15 | If more than one mode is to be set (to
|
|---|
| 16 | the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
|
|---|
| 17 | leaving the subject header blank and writing all the commands in the body of
|
|---|
| 18 | the message instead.</para>

| 30 | <para>All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a user
|
|---|
| 31 | has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
|---|
| 32 | cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
|---|
| 33 | the list and instead receive one email a day containing all
|
|---|
| 34 | the messages posted to the list during that day.</para>
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <para>There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set to this
|
|---|
| 37 | mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
|
|---|
| 38 | receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
|
|---|
| 39 | set this mode, substitute <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
|
|---|
| 40 | <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>

| 53 | messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can change
|

| 54 | to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
|

| 55 | but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
|---|
| 56 | then later through the subscribe process again.</para>
