I had assumed that digested messages would be counted as '1' in this field. For example, I thought 5 digested messages, each with 10 notifications, would be sent out if the limit were set to 5. However, it seems that each of the 5 digest messages would include only 5 items in their body if the limit is set to 5.

Perhaps the description should read: "Setting this limit for digested messages will limit the number of items included in EACH digest. For example, if '5' is entered here, each digested message would include no more than 5 items in the body of the message."

Well, that should be the 'row limit'. The message limit are the messages actually sent out.

Really it was a bad idea to add that in the main UI. That has been fixed for 4.x (not there anymore).

That's not intended to tweak the size of digested messages and side effects will happen (like duplicated messages). I'm afraid for further explanations you'll have to look into the code.

(I have to admit this is interesting though, never thought of that :-) )
