[Chester LUG] Chester Digest, Vol 406, Issue 2

Wed Feb 17 17:23:02 UTC 2021

Hi Roger,

It looks like you've signed up for the daily digest when you registered for
the mailing list. This sends you a compilation of all the emails that have
been sent to the list that day, the start of these digests will look
similar.

If you would rather receive each message individually as they are sent I
can update your record in Mailman.

Les
