UMLS: Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
I get my list messages as a daily digest, but I'm having problems...what's going on?

Answer:
If you sign up for digests and they aren't working right, be aware that our system supports two types of digests -- MIME digests (the default) and text digests (the more traditional format).

MIME digests are a new type of digest that allows some modern e-mail programs to manipulate the messages. Older e-mail programs don't don't deal with them very well, though.

If you have problems with the digests, go to your subscriber page and turn MIME digests on or off in your subscriber options.
