Make two files, one containing the regular (non-digest) members and the other containing the digest members. These files contain one member per line in a format like: Joe Cool <jc...@example.com> (see http://wiki.list.org/x/YoA9 for other formatting options). Then, from the command line bin/add_members -r regular_file -d digest_file -w y -a n listname See "bin/add_members --help" for a description of the options. You can also do this from the web admin mass subscribe page, but it isn't recommended because it's more cumbersome and with tens of thousands of members, will probably time out. To do it, first set Digest options -> digest_is_default to Digest and upload your digest file to the Membership Management... -> Mass Subscription page; then set Digest options -> digest_is_default to Regular and upload your regular file to the Membership Management... -> Mass Subscription page. >Does it make any sense to create two new lists (one digest-only, one >non-digest-only) and import the members into two new lists?
