On the Google Group, they have two options for people who don't want
all the emails, all the time, Abridged, and Digest.

The Digest works like the Mailman one, and I think they send in
batches of 25 entire messages. The Abridged mode is only sent out once
a day, and it contains the first paragraph or so of each message, then
URL pointers to individual, full messages on the group site.

It's interesting, I've been watching it on a separate account that is
not my primary one. The digest is nice in that it is in HTML format,
so the table of contents at the top has #name jump links for quick
access to the messages you want to read. I still prefer letting the
email program sort them for me, and stash them in a folder where I can
look at my convenience without having messages clutter my Inbox.

I don't know if there will ever be a CAUT Google Group. They seem to
have adapted as a group to my.ptg.org better than the pianotech rabble
:-)
