Send this command to the listserv:
SET TECHWR-L DIGests
this asks for digests rather than getting messages as they are posted.
Also, you can send the command "help" to the list server to get some basic help
or a
"refcard" command to get detailed help. (the SET listname options command came
from the command reference card)

Greetings everyone: I'd like to receive this list as a digest - but I haven't be
en able to
discover the right combination of commands. I haven't even been able to figure o
ut
how to ask the listserver for help.
Any pointers? Thanks for your patience!
