Can I set e-mail from the group to default to digest?

Question

Can you set the group so that new members get digests and not individual e-mail?

Answer 1

no- you cant. default is checked and members must select an option and if they don't, they'll get individual mail.

Answer 2

It's probably something Yahoo should do.  Most people never see the choice when they join a group and many get annoyed if the message board is busy and they start getting all the posts.  In my groups we send a separate email welcoming new members and in that email we advise new members of the setting.
