(Incidentally, those who wondered why anyone would want digest mode on
debian-curiosa, this demonstrates my point. d-c is low-traffic
normally, but for many subscribers it's also very low priority. It's
irritating to be subscribed to d-c for the fun bits, but then when an
interesting thread comes along to be pinged many times a day as these
low-priority messages come through. Setting digest mode ensures there
will never be more than one such message a day, far preferable to simply
unsubscribing.)

Thanks very much for this.

To clarify, surely this should be sent to the list's "-request" address,
i.e. <debian-curiosa-request@l.d.o>, rather than the list itself? It's
rather confusing to have a list control message that is sent *in-band*,
when we've been working so hard to educate list newbies to send them to
an out-of-band address :-)
