Hi All-- I couldn't find it, and I couldn't find information in the FAQ or the docs, so I suspect the capability is simply not there: is there any way to retrieve or re-create a digest once it has been sent out? I have subscribers who occasionally miss digests and I'd like to be able to re-send them. Short of subscribing to the digest myself, that is. It seems to me it would be hand to have a page where I could select various digests by vol & issue and enter an email or group of emails, push submit and have the selected digest re-sent.
Metta, Ivan

Your suspicion is correct. As posts are processed for the list, they are accumulated in lists/<listname>/digest.mbox. When a digest is produced, the digest.mbox file is used as the message source for the digest, and then it is removed after the digest is produced. Thus, there is no message source to recreate the digest, nor is there even a record of what messages were in the digest.
Currently, receiving the digests (both MIME and plain) somewhere so that they can be resent as required would be the most straightforward way to do this.
OTOH, you could just suggest that the subscriber who misses a digest just visit the list archive to see what was missed.
