The new DIGEST function is now available on SCREEN-L. And it appears
to be working.
DIGEST is a newly introduced function of LISTSERV, the software that
runs discussion lists like SCREEN-L. Each day LISTSERV collects all of
SCREEN-L's messages and packages them in a single file with an index at
the start that is based on the subject headings.
Here's a portion of what SCREEN-L's digest looked like yesterday (the
number after the subject heading indicates how many times that that
subject appeared):
1. Rouch- Human Pyramid (2)
2. Valley Town (3)
3. Rouch- Sandy
4. The Magus, Beat the Devil (3)
5. Thanks on Magus, Beat the Devil

Rouch's film The Human Pyramind is not in circulation outside of France.

Subject: Re: Valley Town
Henry Breitrose, Thanks for the citations. I will post a list if
I locate more references. It seems to me that with all the post-mod
folk talking about mixed genre as being so hip and current that we
ought to look at films like Valley Town as being the precursors to
post-mod doc. Anyone got suggestions for other "mixed genre" docs
from the 30s onward?

And so it continues from there to list every message of the day in
chronological order.
If you receive SCREEN-L in digest form then you are >not< sent the
messages one at a time as they come in--which is the standard
procedure.
I can see how this way of receiving SCREEN-L messages might be more
convenient, though less immediate, than the message-by-message format.
It's brand new, so experiment with it and let me know what you think.
To receive SCREEN-L's digests you need to change your subscription to
SCREEN-L by sending e-mail to [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Please note: this mail goes to "listserv" not to "screen-l."
In your mail, put this command:
SET SCREEN-L DIGESTS
If you decide that you do not like digests and want to return to the
standard mail system, send e-mail to the same address with this
command:
SET SCREEN-L MAIL
That should do it. Notify me of any problems.
