Forcing Subscriber on Digest

Hi Hugo,

I manage a forum at:
http://aivuk-forum.33396.n7.nabble.com/
that includes a sub-forum at:
http://aivuk-forum.33396.n7.nabble.com/AIVuk-List-f2.html
that is operated as a mail list.

Enough of the users are sufficiently, email naive that it has emerged that the concept of a mail list is almost beyond them. Messages intended as private replies go to everyone and so much quoted material gets appended to posts that it makes the archive/forum difficult to read without a lot of intervention for me.

I think the solution is to force all the subscribers at:
http://aivuk-forum.33396.n7.nabble.com/AIVuk-List-f2.html
to become digest subscribers.

I cannot rely on the members to make the change, nor can I do it myself without editing every subscriber's password in order to access their account and manually change their subscription setting. (There's not a large membership and I could do that myself, but re-setting their own passwords again would only cause further confusion for them.)

Is it possible for you to force this change?
Don't do it now.
Just confirm if it can be done.

I would need to check that the majority of members would accept this change then warn all that the system is changing and in future they would need to post on the forum by using the links in the digest, before I ask you to implement it.
