I have not yet figured out why the digest has occasionally been mailed
out more than twice a day. There is a configuration parameter that
determines the maximum size of the digest (whenever this limit is
exceeded, the digest is mailed out and a new one created.) That
parameter however is currently set at 40KB, but we don't seem to be
exceeding this limit. Strange.
Maybe we could spend more time on our real jobs instead of goofing off
on the list :-). Last month's archives total 1MB, as opposed to 750KB
the month before. One million keystrokes at conservative 0.25 seconds
a keystroke amount to three days and nights of continuous typing :-).
