To change to digest format you send an email to
<listserv@gerry.vanagon.com>  *not* the list... containing these commands:

set vanagon digest
info refcard
end

In order, the first command sets you to digest mode; the second emails you
a reference card of listserv commands; and the third tells listserv to
ignore anything it finds below, such as your signature.

Before you go to digest mode, though, I have to tell you that informed
opinion (mine <g>) is that digest mode usually make the list harder to deal
with, not easier.  In your case, if you have only web access to your mail
that is probably not true; but then dealing with *any* significant quantity
of mail through the web is my idea of torture, even with a fast
connection.  Doing it with a modem connection is to me like hitting myself
on the head with a hammer because it feels so good when I stop.

Ok, rant off...
