I'm surprised that there was no reply to this post in more than 1½ months.
If you have a Google Groups account (which I suppose you got implicitly
by subscribing to the list, but I'm not 100% sure), you can set each
Google Group separately to "No email", "Email" (i.e. Full email),
"Abridged Email" (i.e. daily), "Digest" (not sure what that means), or
"Unsubscribe" (which removes you from that group's membership and voids
your "posting clearance"). To do this, go to
http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs (you may need to log in by
email-address and password; if you have a Google account for the same
email address that's the one whose password you'll reuse), set the
"Subscription Type" widget(s) as you want it/them to be, then click
"Save group settings" at the bottom of the list.
Best regards,
Tony.
