It's already in the archives by the time you see it. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp>
for info about removal.

You can edit the lists/list_name/digest.mbox file before the digest is
produced and remove the post. This will keep it out of the digest.

To do this safely, first stop mailman (bin/mailmanctl stop), then edit
digest.mbox, then start mailman. This will prevent additional posts
from being processed while you're editing and perhaps being lost from
the digest. It will also prevent a digest being triggered by size.

To prevent a periodic digest, remove the senddigests entry from
mailman's crontab.

No.


>also, is there a way to stop a digest from being released until I do this?


See above.
