| 18 | junk in the subject header like "hello" and then put the commands in the

| 31 | All lists have the digest mode available and you can set yourself to
|

| 32 | digest mode, after you subscribe to a list. Being in digest mode will
|

| 33 | cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
|---|
| 34 | the list and instead you will receive one email daily containing all
|
|---|
| 35 | the messages posted to the list that day.

|

| 42 | set yourself to this mode write <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> instead of
|

| 59 | yourself to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing
|

| 60 | yourself, but you don't have to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
|---|
| 61 | then later through the subscribe process again.
