Fred is 99% correct. The command is actually:
SET TECHWR-L DIGEST

Greetings-
This has been stated before, but here it is again:
The LISTSERV system that handles this list can send you a daily
(I think) digest instead of individual messages. If you want this,
send a message to LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU . Send
SET DIGESTS
as the first line of the message.
The result: No more unwanted clutter in your electronic mailbox!
