[Ansteorra] Lenght of digests

[Scott Mills]

Actually the length of the digest is not "purely" tied to the traffic.  
It is not a per user setting but it can be controlled globally for a list.

The list admin can set the the maximum digest size in KB to avoid sending
digests that are unreasonably long.  The list admin can also define if a
digest will be sent out everyday there is traffic regardless of  if the
digest size limit has been reached or not or wait until the digest limit
size as been reached.

So the result of setting a smaller limit would mean smaller and perhaps
more readable digests.  The downside would be on high traffic days there
would be multiple digests delivered.
