5 | The modes that can be set by a user require to send an email to
|
---|
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 what
|
---|
13 | to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
|
---|
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 writing
|
---|
22 | junk in the subject header like "hello" and then put the commands in the
|
---|
23 | body of 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.
|
---|
42 | </para>
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | <para>
|
---|
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.
