I assume you mean that Digest options -> mime_is_default_digest is set to Plain, but that only sets the default for new subscribers. It's a user option and any user can change her setting. Also, if you change it to MIME, that only affects people who subscribe after the change. It doesn't change any current members. > But it sounds as if you're saying that a user can specify that they want MIME > instead of there configured version, somewhere in their personal config? Yes. The user can set it on her options page - "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?" and the admin can set it for a user with the 'plain' checkbox on the Membership Management... -> Membership List pages (unchecked = MIME) I think MIME digests are better. They have several advantages IF (and it's upper case IF on purpose) the user's mail client deals well with the format. Mobile phone apps as a class are generally quite bad at dealing with MIME digests as are some web mail apps. Each user needs to decide for herself which is preferred based on the client(s) she uses. Personally, I set digest mode to MIME on those few lists I subscribe to in digest form, and I just don't try to read them on my phone or just read the TOC and maybe delete the digest as uninteresting. If I want to read and possibly reply to a message in the digest, I use a real MUA on a real computer. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
