Email digest


An email digest is an email that is automatically generated by an electronic mailing list and which combines all exchanged emails during a time period or when a volume limit is reached into one single message.
Email digests are currently available as an opt-in feature in electronic mailing list systems such as GNU Mailman or LISTSERV. It is called an abridged summary in Google Groups. Other systems than mailing lists implement such a feature. YouTube compiles all the communications to users within a time period into a single email.
Technically, the MIME Multipart subtype Multipart/digest as defined in , is a simple way to separate messages and send collections of messages within one single message.
