Usually a digest function is set up by the LISTSERV software on the host
computer.  Thus you send a command to [log in to unmask]  The command
is sometimes DIGEST LACTNET, or an equivalent.  I am not sure that it is for
this list - Kathleen or Kathleen?

As far as AOL is concerned - you will see a LACTNET DIGEST in your new mail -
if you do a flashsession it will be downloaded as usual and it is one long
(or more if it is larger that the gateway allows) e-mail message.  You can
delete the whole thing or read the whole thing.  Some digests list the
contents at the beginning so you can scan that and decide.  I am not on the
digest, so I don't know for this list the particulars.  I do receive numerous
other digests through AOL and have no problem.  It does cut down on the time
spent receiving  messsages on AOL.

Hope this is clear :-)
