Request: I would like to be able to subscribe to a discussion group and recieve a daily/weekly digest of all postings.

Well, if you had set Recieve Replies {or something like that} when you posted, you'd be recieving this in you're email. This doesn't include just anyone replying to the post though. Only if they click on the Reply to Message icon in your message would that happen.

Exactly what do you mean by "discussion group"? Do you mean a particular Forum or the Thread of a certain Post?

The previous could choke the Msg.Brd. system. It would depend on the number of posts per day, how many people would use this service, how long it takes to contact your email, etc. If it does choke the system, it would be like an internal/inherent Denial of Service. I'm not saying anyone is being nasty if they use this method; it just could become a problem really quickly.

As for recieving a digest of a thread, this is far more reasonable sounding as it would put nearly the same strain on the system as the Reply to Post emails do now.

That last one sounds like a great idea. I think it would be useful that way. So now if we could get Geoff's approval...

Oops.
Sorry about that. I can''t remember what everyone does around here. I probably should check out that "Who here writes what?" post.
