eDigest Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if an email digest submission is important?  Subjects make up the index of the digest.  eDigest contributors are encouraged to use thoughtful language in the subject to communicate the content of their submission. Submissions without a subject will be rejected.

How do I send an email to the digest?  To send to all staff use the address: _digest_staff.  To send to all students use the address: _digest_student.

How to I make a correction to a digest email?  eDigest is not correction tolerant. It is not possible to back out an individual eDigest submissions.  If you make a mistake, please correct it with a second submission. 

Why can't I read the digest through Outlook Web Access?  The eDigest has two formats:  an Outlook format (with a subject index) that can only be read through an Outlook client and a generic format (without a subject index) that can be read through either an Outlook client or Outlook Web Access.  Students are setup with the generic format as a default and staff are setup with the Outlook format as a default.  If you would like to change your format, please contact Terry Cheever. 

Why can't I see the digest header?  To make the digest header visible for the Outlook format, right click on the header and choose 'add to safe senders list'.

How do I reply to a digest email?  Reply to individual senders.   If you reply to the eDigest list, your submission will be rejected.  Please reply to the individual senders and not the list.
