Yes - it is my understanding that compuserve charges users on a
per-message basis for external mail.  If this is correct, the digest mode
may be useful to these sorts of people - receiving one big message per
month would be much cheaper with that billing system.  As a reminder, you
can change to digest mode by sending "set miata mail digest" to
"miata-request" or "listserv" @jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu...

    this list, but I don't know if they did or not...
