>I am enjoying Klarinet. Am I missing something? What is Klarinet Digest?

The Klarinet Digest is exactly the same thing as Klarinet, except for the fact
that it waits until a "critial mass" of messages arrives or it reaches 4:00
(am or pm, EST) before shooting off the messages. In other words, 2 or more
"digests" (collections) of messages/day. Keeps the number of messages in your
mailbox down.

But ... there's a danger when doing a reply. You end up replying to the whole
digest, and if you're not careful in your editing you'll send the entire digest
to the list as a reply (which, of course, will probably trigger a digest being
sent out _again_ since the message will exceed the "critial mass".

So, all you "digesters" out there - be careful! We had an accident today
already. It doesn't hurt the machine, but it sure clogs mailboxes!

Cheers,
