Hi there,
at [Restore Mailing List Mode Daily Summary](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restore-mailing-list-mode-daily-summary/64761) I learned that @joebuhlig created [discourse-mlm-daily-summary](https://github.com/procourse/discourse-mlm-daily-summary) with the intention to bring back, what sounds like a feature that used to included in the mailing list mode. Is that correct so far?
At our instance, we [managed to test it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restore-mailing-list-mode-daily-summary/64761/85). Now it looks like one receives the digest, but from every category that has not been explicitly muted. Since our instance has a lot of elderly users still mourning us migrating from Mailman to Discourse, they keep pulling for digests, while being unhappy with having to use the browser.
It’s so cool to be able to present them this alternative of having a digest mode again, but I’m afraid if they have to mute all of our 50+ categories, they might get “a little” upset.
Is there any way to have this plugin only respect the watched/followed categories, like the “normal” email mode? Is there any other way to have digests?
Thanks and kind regards
Flo

Additional features of this fork are: configuration options for categories, which should be included in the mailing user groups, which should be targeted in the mailing time of day, when the mailing should happen updatet mail template (with better support for dark mode) The main reason for using this plugin was to be able to promise users “one mail per day”.

Thanks so much for replying. Are the `configuration options for categories` global or based on the user’s settings?

Up to now, only global configuration is supported.
You would like to have individual subscriptions for any user?

I would like it to respect the general category notification settings the user configured.

It has been over two years. Did you find a solution?
