Due to a server outage that occurred on Friday afternoon, it was necessary
to re-load the NewtonTalk subscriber list from a backup on Saturday morning
and restore the list to full operation.
However, it wasn't possible to set the Digest "attribute" for subscribers
due to the format that the list is stored in. This means that any user that
had subscribed to the list in Digest form has been switched to "immediate"
mode -- this means, like about 60% of the list, you'll receive each posting
at the time that it is made, instead of in ONE digest email at Midnight each
night.
You can change this if you wish and go back to digest mode easily. This is
how:
Go to the Planet Newton website and select the NewtonTalk pages (right-hand
side, home page). Simply unsubscribe from the list be entering your email
address (see the very bottom of the NewtonTalk page). Then, go back to this
page, and subscribe again, choosing Digest mode. The change will be
immediate, and you won't receive any more individual emails, and you will
receive the digest at midnight, as usual.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused; however, it was the
quickest way to ensure that NewtonTalk was back up and running like normal
:)
