Is there a way to mass subscribe users with digest mode as the default? Thanks,

Use the add_members script
--digest-members-file=file -d=file these people become digest members.
The file is a plain text file with one email address per line.
Otherwise, make digest the default, mass subscribe with the web tool, then change the default (if necessary) back to normal mode.

I tried doing this with Mailman 2.1.1 and was unsuccessful. All new subscribers entered in to the "Mass Subscription" form in the Membership Management Section were added as receiving the regular delivery method regardless of whether regular or digest was selected in the "Digest Options" section. The default format of the digest (MIME vs Plain) was recorded accurately though even though the digest button was not selected.
