Previously, digests had been sent with a "Priority: normal" indication. It does make a difference: the median transit time from the LUG list server to my ISP in Boston is now about an hour, whereas it used to be just a few *seconds* with the normal priority. Note: if I currently wish to download a digest (with the majordomo "get" command) then it is sent with default, i.e. normal priority and the transit time is still only a few seconds. If the median transit across the USA is an hour (sometimes much worse), I wonder how well the overseas digest subscribers a doing. And since the junk email that arrives in my mailbox doesn't get sent with "bulk" priority, why should the LUG digest be giving deference to the spammers? Brian, could you please reconfigure the list server to send LUG digests with "normal" priority? Thanks in advance. - -- Pieter Bras
