I have a low volume mailing list and would like to remove the digest option, so what I've done is (via the Mailman administrative interface):
- in "Membership management"-"Membership list": disabled "Digest" from those members who had this enabled
- in "Digest option": set Edit_digest to NO to disable the digest feature entirely
- posted a message to the list to tell about the change and that current digest-receiving members have had their subscriptions changed to non-digest.
This is all I have to do, right?
But for testing purposes I subscribed to the list with a new address and noticed that in my user's administration page ("options" section) there's a choice for "set digest mode" for on/off. How can I remove this and any other trace of the digest option which I might have missed? Thanks.

Assuming you meant 'digestable', yes.
The setting is there, but it can't be set to Yes if digestable is No.
If you have sufficient access to the server, you can copy /path/to/templates/en/options.html to /path/to/lists/LISTNAME/en/options.html and remove the part

<strong>Set Digest Mode</strong><p>
If you turn digest mode on, you'll get posts bundled together
(usually one per day but possibly more on busy lists), instead
of singly when they're sent. If digest mode is changed from
on to off, you may receive one last digest.

Your mail reader may or may not support MIME digests. In
general MIME digests are preferred, but if you have a problem
reading them, select plain text digests.

It is arguably a bug to display these settings on the options page if the list is not digestable and the user's digest setting is not Yes. If you file a bug at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug>, I'll consider fixing it.

Sorry, yes. I meant "Edit_digestable".
I'm not sure which rights I have to the server but I was able to edit it from the web user administration interface! In the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" I edited the "User specific options page". Works great now.
Done!
