Don’t want to count any chickens before they hatch 😉 but my organization is hiring a developer to create a plugin to recreate the functionality of the Mailing List Mode Daily Digest. @joebuhlig is doing the programming for us. It will be open source when it’s done. To start it will just recreate the former functionality but more improvements may come down the line as time goes on.

Heh, yep sorry I suppose that someone could have been me, but I’m unable to take on any unpaid work at the moment. If the work with Joe falls through (I don’t think he will, from what I’ve seen he’s great!), feel free to reach out to me and I’d be happy to discuss this (and additional improvements as required) on a contract.

Hey, team! I’ve spent some time working on this and I think it’s all in place. The only issue is getting the mailer to find the view. I’ve spent quite a while trying to get it to read the template in `app/views/user_notifications` with no luck. Anyone see what I’m missing here?

I for one am glad the name was “finally” changed from the misleading term “digest”. 😉 🏆

Have you tried adding
```plaintext
prepend_view_path "plugins/discourse-mlm-daily-summary/app/views"
```
to the UserNotifications override?

Doh! I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks, James.
Just need to add the user setting and respect it. Then this will be ready to go. 😉

> For a variety of reasons the option for mailing list mode users to receive a daily summary email was removed. It turns out there are a handful of communities that relied on this feature and as such it provoked a [good discussion about the restoration of the feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/please-restore-email-digests/63895). It was mentioned in that topic that I was working on this. Thanks to @lkramer and team for sponsoring this work! tada This plugin adds an option to the email preferences for a user and allows them to enable the daily emails. It i…
