I should have been more descriptive when I said "digest mode".  This was
done a while back on debian-devel when a poster was constantly posting
annoying messages that many didn't want filling up their mail box, but we
didn't want to completely remove their ability to post.  What happens is
the posters messages for that day are queued and then sent as one easy to
delete digest of messages _from_ that user.  This is unrelated to the
digest feature of the mailing list when messages are queued before being
sent _to_ a user.

Sorry about any confusion,
Brandon
