4 | <para>The modes that can be set by a user require sending an email to
|
---|
5 | <ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>.
|
---|
6 | The modes themselves are set by writing
|
---|
7 | the appropriate commands in the subject header of the message.</para>
|
---|
8 |
|
---|
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>

12 |
|
---|
13 | <para>The listname in the example subject headers should be replaced with the
|
---|
14 | listname to which
|
---|
15 | the mode is going to be applied to. 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, substiture <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
|
---|
40 | <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>

52 | <para>If a user is going to be away for a while or wishes to stop receiving

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>
