I'm slammed for time, but I want to get this bug report into the loop (we really need Jitterbug or some such!).
Anyway, if someone switches from digest mode to regular delivery, they need to receive at least one more digest, otherwise they will lose mail. Or they need to receive the digest up to the point of their delivery mode switch.
This just happened me. I toggled on regular delivery of jpython-interest just before the digests were sent out today, so I lost all email since yesterday. :-(

I think the best way to handle this would be to just shove out a copy of the CURRENT digest when the user modifies their setting, no? No readon to wait until the digest goes out LATER, just run the digest-send w/1 recipient.
