On a mailing list, a digest is a collection of messages, usually a day's worth. Instead of receiving intermittent messages through the day, a mail server can collate all the emails to a particular address to be held and sent as a single message at a specified time.
An email message containing several postings to a mailing list. Lists often inundate members with postings, and digests help people with less time keep up.
A collection of messages from a Listserv or discussion group, sent at regular intervals such as daily or weekly.
A collection of messages from a mailing list, concatenated into one longer message. Digests are not currently available on the acpub system.
A periodical collection of messages which have been posted to a newsgroup or mailing list.

When you receive all the messages sent to the list, during a day, in one single, larger message.
A compiled version of all of a list's posts for a given day/week/month digest-only discussion list - a moderated discussion list available in digest form only.
Many lists offer their subscribers the option of receiving all of the posts (messages) from one day as one message (a digest). Advantages of this include faster download time (some of the hidden header information from individual messages is not included in the digest), the ability to save the digest as a file and search for keywords using a word processor allowing you to read only those messages that are of interest, and the fact that all messages from one list are grouped together rather than interspersed with other email you receive throughout the day. The disadvantages are that unless your email reader is equipped with a digest burster, 1) wading through dozens of messages (and their strange, cryptic headers) can be confusing and frustrating; and 2) it is not possible to "press the reply button" and automatically reply to a given message as you could if the messages were received individually.
A summary of List messages, typically sent out every few days to digest version subscribers.
A form of a mailing list where a number of messages are concatenated, or linked, and sent out as a single message.

Commonly used to refer to the output of a hash function, e.g. message digest refers to the hash of a message.
A hash value (or digest) is a number generated from a string of text. The hash value is substantially smaller than the text itself, and is generated by a formula in such a way that it is extremely unlikely that some other text will result in the same hash value. Hashing can be used to check the integrity of data: if someone produces a hash value and sends it along with the message, the receiver can produce a hash value on receipt of the message. If the receiver's hash matches the one that was sent along with the message, the original message has not been changed.
A compilation of the messages that have been posted to a mailing list over the past few days. Many people find it more convenient to receive one big message than a bunch of individual ones.
A single file or mail message that contain many individual messages or postings. Often used in conjunction with a listserv or Usenet newsgroup.
