Hello, I want to formally express my dislike of the format of the last digest I received. Multiple separate Outlook Express messages as attachments is a very unhandy format for casually scanning the messages for something that might be useful for my site.
Thanks, Dale

I'd like to formally register doubt that mailman sends anything at all in "Outlook Express" formats.
It just might use MIME.

Dale,
As a Mailman admin, you can set which type of digest is default (Plain or Mime) on the Digest-member Options page. As a list user, you can override the default and have the format of your preference sent to you.
Many people like the Mime digests though. Makes replying easier, for one thing.
