Thanks, Sam!

Currently when mailing list mode is enabled—at least at the user preference level (see following post)—the interface makes it clear that digest settings are overridden.

So maybe the only thing to add would be a “send always,” e.g:

**Activity Summary:**  
[] Always send me an email digest  
[] Only send me an email digest when I don’t visit here  
(Drop down): every 30 minutes | hourly | daily | weekly | every month | every six months

But I’d see the “always” option as a nice-to-have. Just making the digest independent of other emails would seem to make it work as expected.

_(Side note: if I had a large forum, I might wish for the available timeframes to be configurable by admin. Too many people choosing “always send… every 30 minutes” could run up email charges.)_
