* '''Individual Emails''' means you see each item as it’s sent to the group.
 
* '''Daily Digest''' batches the emails up, which is more manageable, though some items go quickly and so will have gone by the time you see them.
 
* '''Special Notices''' is for reading the group via the Web, instead of email.
 
  
Please don't use Web Only.  Some groups may change members using this option to '''Special Notices''' to ensure their email address is valid.
