While going through the User Guide Manual for Mailman at* http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html <http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html>,* I couldn't properly understand 2 points:
Q.1 (Related to Delivery Mode setting in List Settings Page) If a user has selected to get *"Plain Text Digests": *What happens to the messages involving multimedia/any content other than ASCII text sent in the Mailing List for this user? Does he receive them in his Digest or not? If Yes, How?(in some binary format or what?)
Q.2. (Related to Getting copies of Own posts) I saw a note in the documentation of the same, stating 'This option has no effect if you are receiving digests.' I am not fully clear about what this meant.
Please give me some insights into these. Also, Having read all sections of the Mailman 3.1 documentation thoroughly, I am highly impressed by the simplicity of language, ordering and the way the whole documentation has been written. Thanks for this.

This is problematic. See <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/473>

It means that not receiving copies of your own posts from the list only applies to individual messages from the list. I.e., even if you chose to not receive copies of your own posts, if you are receiving digests, your posts will be in the digests you receive.
Please give me some insights into these. Also, Having read all sections of the Mailman 3.1 documentation thoroughly, I am highly impressed by the simplicity of language, ordering and the way the whole documentation has been written. Thanks for this.

Thanks a lot for the clarification, Mark.
Also, as I previously said, I have set up all parts of mailman locally and am now also familiar with the terminologies as given in the docs. I am very keen to contribute to Mailman. I am trying to get familiar with the codebase. Fortunately, my coding style matches with the Mailman's codebase. I would be highly thankful to you if you could assign a beginner-friendly issue in mailman. This would give me a self-boost and also understand better. I am already impressed with the code practices and such an active community.
Thanks again.

Please feel free to pick one up yourself from Gitlab, it is hard to assign something since we don't know which issue would be most interesting to you. There are several issues tagged with "easy" and "beginner-friendly" across all the projects which would be a good place to start.
I am already impressed with the code practices and such an active community.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks again.
