This is set up by your aliases, e.g., 

space-and-flight-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/space-and-flight,
space-and-flight-archive, "|/majordomo/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l
space-and-flight-digest space-and-flight-digest-outgoing"

Then you define your digest aliases and set a byte limit to trigger digesting
(or run mkdigest via cron), per the FAQ and other docs.

Now, what *I* want to know is how digest (in 1.93) knows what the original
list name is, for use in removing the message_footer. That's not in the aliases 
file, nor in majordomo.cf (that I could find).
