Yes. OFtentimes mailing lists have a daily batch of reply's to a thread rather than individaul, one at time, posts. For example such a arrangement exisdts in fedora-request. (assuming that still exists).
Ah. That is called "digest". No, it is not available. Have a look at the headers of any list mail. You will see one: List-Help: mailto:opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org just send an email to that address. If I'm not mistaken, you will get a FAQ, or you can request it separately. Question number 2 is: Q2. How to I get the list in digest form instead of separate emails? A2. We don't offer digested lists for several reasons: 1) Most of our lists (especially this one) are far to large to make digests useful. Are you really going to read an ~500K email once per day? Yes, it's the same amount that you would receive on as separate mail but it's easy to delete or skip messages that don't interest you in that case; it's not with a digest. 2) In our experience, digests tend to decrease the quality of list postings. They do this by encouraging the sorts of behaviors that are often considered rude or in poor 'netiquette': replying to mail with the incorrect subject header or other headers that make it impossible for threaded mail clients to work properly, replying to mail without reading the entire thread first, and probably more. Of course, people who do things like this are often the cause of huge flame wars about proper netiquette that can go on for days, often with the result of having very helpful and knowledgeable people leaving the list in disgust. 3) Usually, when people request digests what they are really asking for is a way to keep the list mail from flooding their mailbox and making it harder to find and read non-list mail. This is a valid concern and one that is best handled with mail filtering, not digests. If your system is configured to use procmail to deliver mail locally (SuSE's postfix and sendmail packages are) all you need to do is create a file in your home directory named '.procmailrc' that contains something like the following: MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # where do you keep your mail? DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # what's you default mail box? # if mail is from list put it in $MAILDIR/foo :0 * ^X-Mailing-List: <listname> $MAILDIR/foo Everything else will be placed in $DEFAULT. By default, procmail creates a normal mbox formatted mail box so if you want to copy the file somewhere (e.g., to a PDA) you only need to, in the above example, copy $MAILDIR/sle. Of course, procmail is capable of much more than what this simple example shows, so please read procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5) for more information. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
