Choosing MIME or Plain Text Digests
If you subscribe to a mailing list and receive digests (a single mail with all of a day’s
postings in it), you can choose whether to receive them as a MIME digest (a collection
of individual posts) or as a plain text digest (one message with the text of all posts).
To change message types:
1 In a web browser, enter the URL of the list information page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo/listname.
2 In the Subscriber section of the web page, enter your mail address and click
Unsubscribe Or Edit Options.
3 Enter your password and click Log In.
This is not your user password. If you subscribed using the web interface, you chose
a list password. If you subscribed via mail or were subscribed via Server Admin,
your password is blank.
4 In the Get MIME Or Plain Text Digests section, select a digest type.
To set the digest type for all your lists on this server, select Change Globally.
5 Click Submit My Changes.
