Feat. Digest subscription

I'm very interested in this myself. From quickly looking at the code, it seems like this should be easy to do because the module already can store subscription messages in the database. I would try to write the patch myself, but I really don't know where to begin.

I really want this too. The existing system of getting an email everytime soemone posts just doesn't work with sites with heavy traffic ie users get so annoyed with loads of mails, they unsubscribe. There has to be a way to do digests. If anyone knows the code/method, please email me - pete.comley@virtualsurveys.com

Yes, this would be really great, for all the reasons stated by the others. I'd be interested in hearing any solutions as well -- Simon Lester, administrator@worldtradelaw.net.

Indeed, this would be a great feature, but we can't even get critical bug fixes committed, so there's little chance that anyone would want to work on new features...

Perhaps now that the new subscription module code is out someone would consider writing a digest feature for it? It would be very useful.

I agree, a must have for busy sites.

It's on our TODO list, and some preliminaries are already in the code.

Comments are already aggregated within a thread, btw.

see maildigest module in Contrib. Ignore the 1.2 checkin and just look at the original commit. this module intercepts all outbound email and puts it in a DB table. then it runs on cron and sends digests in an interval specified by he ecipient. so it works with any drupal email. the admin specifies which emails shoud g out immediately (forgotten password) and which are eligible for digest (subscriptions stuff).

this module is being worked on by rconstantine in the og queue since it does not yet have a projct of its own.

We now have a digest feature. The admin can freely define the send intervals he wants to offer -- it can certainly be a week if that's desirable.
