What is a digest?
For a mailing list that is very high volume (20-30 notes a day), a digest version of that list can be very convenient. When you are on the digest version, you will get a single mail note once a day (or once every 30 messages--which ever comes first) that contains all of the traffic to that mailing list that day.
Digests are less useful on low volume lists (such as most of the announcement lists, which may have one note sent to them per month).
The easiest way to subscribe or unsubscribe from a digest version is to send am email to:

*mailing list name*-digest-subscribe@dresd.org, to subscribe
*mailing list name*-unsubscribe@dresd.org, to unsubscribe

How can I switch my subscription to a digest one?
You just have to do something like that:
a) Unsubscribe from the mailing list.
b) Subscribe to the mailing list, this time using the digest option.
