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:
1In a web browser, enter the URL of the list information page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo/listname.
2In the Subscriber section of the web page, enter your mail address and click Unsubscribe Or Edit Options.
3Enter 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.
4In 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.
5Click Submit My Changes.
