|

6 | <ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">
|
---|
7 | listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>. The modes themselves are set by writing
|
---|
8 | the appropriate commands in the subject headers of the message.

12 | As the name implies the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells you what
|
---|
13 | to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
|
---|
14 | you what to write to unset a mode.

18 | Replace listname in the example subject headers with the listname to which
|
---|
19 | you want to apply the mode to. If you want to set more than one mode (to
|
---|
20 | the same list or multiple lists) with one email you can do so by writing
|
---|
21 | junk in the subject header like "hello" and then put the commands in the
|
---|
22 | body of the message instead.

|

36 | All lists have the digest mode available and you can set yourself to
|
---|
37 | digest mode, after you subscribe to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
---|
38 | cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
---|
39 | the list and instead you will receive one email daily containing all
|
---|
40 | the messages posted to the list that day.
|
---|
41 | </para>
|

42 |
|
---|
43 | <para>
|
---|
44 | There is a second digest mode called digest2. When you are set to this
|
---|
45 | mode you will receive the daily digests but you will also continue to
|
---|
46 | receive the individual messages to the lists are they are posted. To
|
---|
47 | set yourself to this mode write <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> instead of
|
---|
48 | <emphasis>digest</emphasis> in the subject header.

62 | If you are going to be away for a while or wish to stop receiving
|
---|
63 | messages from the lists but you don't want to unsubscribe you can set
|
---|
64 | yourself to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing
|
---|
65 | yourself, but you don't have to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
---|
66 | then later through the subscribe process again.
