 +In addition to viewing the archives, the list management page will allow you to both change your list "reception mode" settings as well as suspend delivery of mail altogether for a period of time.

 +
 +The help beside the "Receiving Mode" gives all of the choices, which are summarized below. Generally the important ones to note are "Digest" (which will combine all emails for the week into a single email) and "not receiving your own posts."

 +Mailing List Reception modes
 +
 +  - **digest MIME format:** instead of receiving the list messages in a normal manner, you will get a digest of them on a regular basis. This digest compiles a group of messages from the list, using multipart/digest MIME format. The digest frequency is set up by the list owner.
 +  - **digest plain text format:** instead of receiving the list messages in a normal manner, you will get a digest of them on a regular basis. This digest compiles a group of messages from the list, using plain text format. The digest frequency is set up by the list owner.
 +  - **summary mode:** instead of receiving the list messages in a normal manner, you will get a list of them on a regular basis. To read the messages, you will need to browse the online list archive.
 +  - **notice mode:** with this mode, you will receive all the messages with a blank body: this way you are informed of every message sent to the list real time, without risk of flooding your inbox.
 +  - **no mail (useful for vacations):** this mode makes it possible not to receive the messages of the list. It is especially useful when you have no access to your email for a long time and want to remain subscribed to the list nevertheless.
 +  - **text only mode:** this mode allows you to receive only the text version (text/plain) of messages sent in both formats (plain text and HTML).
 +  - HTML only mode: this mode allows you to receive only the HTML version (text/html) of messages sent in both formats.
 +  - **urlize mode:** this mode allows you not to receive attached documents. However these documents are available in the list archive and you can access them through a URL provided in the message.
 +  - **you do not receive your own posts:** this mode allows you not to receive a copy of your own messages.
 +  - **standard (direct reception):** this mode is the default delivery mode; it cancels any other delivery mode.
 +</WRAP>
  
 +To suspend mail altogether either set the reception mode to "no email" or, if just for a vacation, you can use the "Suspend subscription" function to add start and stop dates for when mail should not be delivered.
