Several times, I have sent the message, as required, and gotten the "you
are signed up" message, but no digests follow.

Messages to the list maintainer have been unproductive. Sigh. There is
much better discussion there than there is here, in general.

PBM-List, now called PBM-Forum to avoid confusion with Greg Lindahl's
'PBM List' web page, moved to a new server today. The Forum still has
over 400 subscribers, despite a few delivery problems as noted here.

The old server had a routine that automatically dropped you from the list
if email sent to your address bounced x (I think it was 5) times. That
might explain why Phil suddenly stopped getting the digest. I'm not
notified when someone is automatically dropped.

Phil, Ed, and others, if you'd like to subscribe, perhaps again, please
send email to:

pbm-forum-request@tightbeam.com

with the single word 'subscribe' in the BODY of the email. You'll get a
note confirming receipt of your request, and then a second note
confirming your addition to the Forum.

For now, there isn't a digest version of PBM-Forum. The digest is being
set up, and ought to be available in a day or two.
