Hi the gang,

Why the Digest of this group is sent evey one or two hours?
The digest objective is to receive not too often in one message a bunch
of them, very usefull when you forward your emails to your mobile phone,
here with this group I receive very often a digest with only few
messages, this is very enoying on mobile phones.
Many other groups are sending digests only one or maximum twice per day.

All the bests.

Why the Digest of this group is sent evey one or two hours?

Most mailing list softwares send either at a set interval OR when a
certain number of messages are received - whichever happens first.

This prevents a very busy system from sending out digests that may
contain hundreds of messages. (Far too difficult to read through.)

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your prompt reply, yes I understand, the problem these
days is there are more and more mobility and poeple sending their emails
to their mobile phones.
May be an idea is to have two style of digests like "heavy" or "lite",
or another solution to offer users to choose the number of messages into
their Digest.
These are just ideas to avoid users having too much Bzzi Bzzi into their
pocket... ;-)

Best regards
