<title>Other list modes</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The modes that can be set by a user require sending an email to
|
|
<ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>.
|
|
The modes themselves are set by writing
|
|
the appropriate commands in the subject header of the message.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As the name implies, the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells what
|
|
to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
|
|
what to write to unset a mode.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The listname in the example subject headers should be replaced with the
|
|
listname to which
|
|
the mode is going to be applied to. If more than one mode is to be set (to
|
|
the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
|
|
leaving the subject header blank and writing all the commands in the body of
|
|
the message instead.</para>

<title>Digests</title>

<literallayout>
|
|
Set command: <emphasis>set listname digest</emphasis>
|
|
Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname digest</emphasis>
|
|
</literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<para>All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a user
|
|
has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
|
cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
|
the list and instead receive one email a day containing all
|
|
the messages posted to the list during that day.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set to this
|
|
mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
|
|
receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
|
|
set this mode, substitute <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
|
|
<emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>

<title>Vacation</title>

Set command: <emphasis>set listname vacation</emphasis>
|

Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname vacation</emphasis>

</literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a user is going to be away for a while or wishes to stop receiving
|
|
messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can change
|
|
to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
|
|
but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
|
then later through the subscribe process again.</para>
