> [@dictoon](#): > > What’s the mailing list mode? One email for every new post? Maybe this needs a short explanation. We now throw a warning modal when this setting is selected which explains better what you’re getting into by giving an estimate of how many mails you’ll be receiving per day by enabling the setting. > [@dictoon](#): > > Why is the setting “When I don’t visit here, send an email digest of what’s new” in two places?
