[UrbanCropCircle] group communication via Sustainable Ballard /Urban Crop Circles "mailman" program

[Susan Helf]

Julia,
You're welcome.

I understand that the digest setting can be helpful for some people, but the
group decided
to eliminate that feature. I don't know if it is possible for an individual
to get the aggregated
emails without the whole group getting them as well. I'll find out and get
back to you.

Susan
