I've continued to search for email addins. However the ones that do what we are all looking for require cron or a similar function available. My host (yahoo) does not provide this on the accounts.
So I've started recently looking at RSS feeds.

For the less technically minded amongst us What is cron and what is an RSS feed?

Cron is a unix utility that allows you to run a job at a specific time or times.
RSS is... I believe Really Simple Syndication. Basically digests but sent to a browser instead of email.

How about adding the yahoo group to the digest subscription? That way everything gets sent to the yahoo group too.

It's not quite that simple. The individual users must decide to subscribe to the digests (and you'd still need to be subscribed to the forums here to follow the links, once I get them working properly). Of course, for replies, you'd also need to be registered here.
I'll give it a shot though. See what happens.

Errrr this is a suggestion to make "aurora@yahoo.com" (or whatever the yahoo group is) into a subscriber of the digests, rather than signing up everyone who's in the yahoo group for email, right? I'm in the yahoo group, but I don't want to receive the digest emails.
Thanks,
