Hello, would it be possible for the Guix-commits list administrator to
tune the Digest settings, so as to reduce the numbers of Digest emails
sent each day? I'm using Digest mode, but still receive about 8-15
emails per day. One thing that might help is to increase the number of
messages that can be lumped into one digest: I frequently receive two
or three emails within 30 seconds of each other, than have nine
messages in each. I think you can adjust also how long the system waits
before creating a new digest.

I’ve changed ‘digest_size_threshold’ from 30 to 300 KB. This option is
documented like this:

digest_size_threshhold (digest): How big in Kb should a digest be
before it gets sent out? 0 implies no maximum size.

So I think it should be better now. Let me know!

Hi, yes, this looks like it had immediate benificial effect. It looks
like it is packing about five times as many commit messages into each
email, which has dramatically reduced the inbox clutter. Thank you!
