Until now the list have sent 22 digest-mails with a single mail in each digest mail, all named Volume 20, but with increasing Issue number from 1 to 22. The numbering is expected, but the mails should've been send as a collection, not as individual mails.


This is a bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558274>. It was
fixed in 2.1.16. Prior to that, setting digest_size_threshhold = 0 would
produce the behavior you see.

If you want no digests based on size in older versions, set
digest_size_threshhold =  a very large number.

Because the digest has been sent.

I don't understand this question. With emergency = Yes, all posts will
be held and if approved by the list admin/moderator will be delivered to
the list and accumulated for the digest (which with
digest_size_threshhold = 0 pre 2.1.16 will be sent immediately, one
digest per post).
