|

| 7 | listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>. The modes themselves are set by writing
|

|

| 14 | what to write to unset a mode.

| 18 | The listname in the example subject headers should be replaced with the
|
|---|
| 19 | listname to which
|
|---|
| 20 | the mode is going to be applied to. If more than one mode is to be set (to
|
|---|
| 21 | the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
|
|---|
| 22 | leaving the subject header blank and write all the commands in the body of
|
|---|
| 23 | the message instead.

|

| 37 | All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a user
|
|---|
| 38 | has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
|---|
| 39 | cause to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
|---|
| 40 | the list and instead send one email daily containing all
|
|---|
| 41 | the messages posted to the list during that day.

|

| 45 | There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set to this
|
|---|
| 46 | mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
|
|---|
| 47 | receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
|
|---|
| 48 | set this mode <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> has to be written instead of
|
|---|
| 49 | <emphasis>digest</emphasis> in the subject header.

| 63 | If a user is going to be away for a while or wishes to stop receiving
|
|---|
| 64 | messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can set
|
|---|
| 65 | to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
|
|---|
| 66 | but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
|---|
| 67 | then later through the subscribe process again.
