Yes, we can turn off digests for python-ideas, or any Mailman mailing list.

I was tempted to JFDI, but it would mean that ~25% of list members would no
longer get messages.  That's because 254 out of 979 members are currently
receiving digests.

Let's give people a grace period, say of one week.  You have until Monday
22-Aug-2016 to switch to non-digest delivery or read the mailing list through
some other outlet (e.g. Gmane's NNTP interface) if you still want to get
messages for python-ideas.

Cheers,

P.S. I am refraining from responding to other topics in this thread, since I
think the proper place to do that is overload-sig.
