There is an old discussion in this list's archives on this topic at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-April/044342.html. Unfortunately, it didn't help me.
The problem, as I understand it, is that when you change the digest setting, it also affects the non-digest setting. The archived thread didn't resolve or clarify this for me. We are experiencing this problem now. Our problem: Set the following option to "plain". Note that this is a digest option, not a non-digest option. When receiving digests, which format is default? Plain (Edit mime_is_default_digest) Then set the following option to "regular": Which delivery mode is the default for new users? Regular (Edit digest_is_default) Now add a new member to the list. What happens is that the new member is set to non-digest and plain text defaults. If you now change "mime_is_default_digest" to MIME and add a new member, the new member is set to non-digest and rich text defaults. So the digest option is changing the default settings for non-digest new members. This is both confusing and limiting. We want digest emails sent out in "plain" format by default. But we want the non-digest option with rich text to be the default for all new users. There doesn't seem to be a way to achieve this. Hopefully, there is a setting I'm overlooking.
