In an attempt to better manage my time in the face of current list 
traffic, I attempted to set my ncsg-discuss subscription options to 
Digest mode.  (That is, all the messages posted over a reasonable period 
of time sent in a single message.)

The server (listserv.syr.edu) refuses, saying "digests not available for 
this list".

Is there some reason why this feature has not been enabled?  Most lists 
offer this option.

I'd like to see daily (or even weekly) digests available as an option.

The current choices - a deluge of messages or none at all are both 
unappealing... and yes, I could create a rule to move them to a folder - 
but then they risk being ignored.

(Before the interrupt-driven folks panic: this is a per-subscriber 
choice - one has to opt-in to digest mode delivery.)

Note that the (mailman-based) NCUC list offers a digest option (but for 
some reason it's sending digests several times a day.)

Thanks.

[Here is the exact error from listserv]
