> Is there a way to get this list in digest format?

There used to be *nine* opendos lists on my machine, but they were
averaging a *total* of one message a week, so I collapsed them into
one list.  I didn't think there was much point in having a digest list
when 99% of the digest messages would consist of one (or no) messages.

You must open your email only once a year to see that effect!

Sigh.  Someone created a group at egroups, and subscribed
opendos AT delorie DOT com to it, and egroups sent the welcome message to the
subscriber - opendos AT delorie DOT com.  This was the wrong way to do it.
They should only have subscribed egroups to my list, not the other way
around.  If it isn't already fixed, I'll fix it from here by banning
email from egroups.
