As others have pointed out, there is a Yahoo group, but it is apparently 
not greatly used.


Those that keep suggesting there should be an additional group should 
bear in mind that whereas there are a few (FSVO "few") who can't cope 
with the traffic on the existing one list, there are likely to be many, 
many more who cannot cope with 2 lists, so the more lists there are, the 
less chance of anyone getting the help they need as the knowledge and 
expertise will be much more thinly spread.


I think the complainants might also bear in mind that one of the reasons 
why there are so many posts to this list is that it is very popular just 
the way it is!

Possibly because they didn't develop it, and the 3rd party software doesn't 
offer such a thing.


To me a Digest is a pure waste of time, and would cause much ire when 
inexperienced users try to respond to a specific message. Whole Digests 
quoted. Thread titles not changed.


My simple advice. Learn how to filter and organise your emails.

Why reinvent the wheel.  Subscribe to the Legacy group through Rootsweb.
 You have the option to subscribe in digest mode.  I wouldn't hold my
breath waiting for Millennia to bring their list serv into the modern
day.  They refuse to add vital security features such as the ability to
block html and attachments, so do not hold your breath waiting for them
to offer a digest mode.

There is a Yahoo Group at  legacy-boun...@rootsweb.com, which is much the 
same as LUG, but not as active.

I'm not sure why the Legacy website programmers do not allow for a DAILY 
DIGEST feature for those of us who want it.   True enough, there is a lot to 
wade through if there is just one LEGACY e-mail per day, but one can usually 
look to the SUBJECTS at the front of the digest and click on or go down to 
the particular subjects that interest them (they are usually numbered).  In 
the absence of this, someone may wish to set up a YAHOO LEGACY group for 
those members who wish to be able to get a daily digest since that feature 
is available with YAHOO groups.   I did a search and although there are a 
couple related groups like one for using Legacy with websites, there doesn't 
seem to be a Yahoo group devoted exclusively just to the Legacy Family Tree 
Software.   Just a thought for what it's worth.

Why doesn't Legacy have a forum setup instead of or along with a mailing
list?  I prefer a forum myself because I can check it when I please and can
subscribe to individual threads that I prefer. This mailing list is so
active that my phone is constantly buzzing and I now ignore my phone, which
is bad because I will miss my important emails or IM's.

The software Legacy uses for its mailing list does not have a digest option.

You could create a rule or filter to divert the list mail to its own 
folder, which creates the same effect without having to wait for the 
digest to arrive.


This has been discussed plenty of times in the past on this list, and 
you can read those posts in the archives.  I've posted before about 
instructions on my personal web site for creating rules/filters for a 
variety of mail programs and services which you may find helpful if 
you've never set one before.

Why doesn't Legacy have a forum setup instead of or along with a mailing

subscribe to individual threads that I prefer. This mailing list is so
active that my phone is constantly buzzing and I now ignore my phone, which
