Hi all,

I just signed up for the mailing list, but when I tried to change
over to a digest subscription, I got an error back from the server.
The instructions I followed were from http://archives.postgresql.org/
pgsql-general/ .

From the few e-mails I've gotten so far, it looks like this is a
nice community!

Thanks,

Don

I'm fairly sure that the way you do that involves some kind of "set mode"
command, not a new "subscribe" command. Send the command "help" to
the majordomo server and believe what it tells you, not what you
read somewhere else. (Just to save you one round trip, I recall that
"help" and "help set" will cover most of what you want to know.)

It looks like the directions on that page are incorrect - I'll see about
getting them fixed. I've set your subscription to digest manually. For
the record, the correct command to subscribe in digest mode is:

subscribe-set pgsql-general digest

Thanks for letting us know about the problem.
