HI Jeff,

Here;s how it works... regardless of your subscription mode, the act of having a subscription allows you to send emails to the list. The different modes affect only how messages are delivered to you at the subscribed email address.  Here's how they work.......

Feed mode...  you get each individual message as soon as it is sent in

Digest mode... you get one large message each morning that contains all the individual messages that were sent in the prior day

Index mode... you get one teeny message each morning that contains only an index (ie, list of subjects)  of the messages that were contained in that day's digest 

Null mode... no messages of any kind are sent to your subscribed email address.  You can still post.  This is for people who prefer to always check messages in the online archive and reply only to those things they find of interest.  Also useful as a "vacation" subscription method, switch to it when leaving for vacation, switch back on your return.  Lets you use the archive when you feel like without cancelling your subscription (as well as your ability to post).

The List only accepts inbound emails from subscribed email addresses.

I hope this helps.  Let me know what method you'd prefer and I'll get your subscription setup accordingly.

the Digest.
 I was subscribed to the LIST for a long time but cancelled several months ago
due to too many messages coming into my email account at work.
 I want to participate in the forum but without as many emails ... please
advise best method.
 Thank You
