Although I have never used a digest, it is something along the lines
of: all the mail to the list is sent to you in one go at the end
of the week/month/year/whatever. This is for people who just want
to dip into the list, and not be constantly bombarded with mail.
This is an optional thing, there are usually two subscribe commands,
one for normal and one for digest subscription. It is a utility
feature and does not affect anyone who doesn't use it.
