Hi guys,

I have looked everywhere, trying to set my ruby-talk mails to be grouped  
in a daily digest.  
I have found that it is managed by mailman, and that there is a  
controller ([ruby-talk-request@ruby-lang.org](mailto:ruby-talk-request@ruby-lang.org)) to which I can send commands.  
I had found some information here: [https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions/](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions/)  
and here [http://comp.lang.ruby.narkive.com/HCGTc2RJ/is-there-a-ruby-talk-digest-list](http://comp.lang.ruby.narkive.com/HCGTc2RJ/is-there-a-ruby-talk-digest-list)

The following commands in the body of the email are working fine:  
'help'  
'set help'  
'set show'

Now to set the digest, it seems that I need to authenticate, using the  
same email.  
So I tried sending a mail to [ruby-talk-request@ruby-lang.org](mailto:ruby-talk-request@ruby-lang.org) with  
'set authenticate my\_password' as the subject, and 'set digest mime' as  
the body.  
I also tried leaving the subject empty and put the two commands on two  
separate lines in the body.  
Also tried putting 'set authenticate my\_password set digest mime' in the  
subject.

In all these cases, I don't get any response from the controller.  
If I send only 'set digest mime', I get the answer 'Not authenticated'.

Somebody would happen to know how it can be done?  
Thanks

Nobody has a clue about that?

Thanks
