So no need to split these off from this list :)

Although I remember answering a 2.1 question just a few weeks ago.

It cannot be set by "number of mails before a digest is sent out", but
only as "size in kB a digest should grow to before it is sent out". 

This size is set fairly huge, so it never seems to be reached - 30 MB.
That's why you're only seeing daily digests. I think this number could
be set much lower if digest subscribers want to have that.

So other digest subscribers: Speak up!

Yes. But it might be a break in expected behaviour for people who only
want one digest a day.

Cheers,
