There is no digest for the caml-list, although the mailing list manager that we use (Majordomo) can be configured to support a digest list. However, I was under the impression that digests aren't very popular these days, in particular because they make it inconvenient to reply to a particular message. As for newsgroups, there already exists two newsgroups where Caml discussions are on topic: comp.lang.ml and comp.lang.functional. Everyone is free to post messages on these newsgroups instead of on the caml-list. That most of the discussions on Caml go to caml-list seems to indicate that most posters prefer a mailing list. The solution, I believe, is on your side: it is not hard to filter caml-list messages to a special mailbox, and/or read it as if it were a newsgroup. I know how to do this with procmail and Gnus, but I believe that even Outlook Express and Netscape Mail can do this. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
