thanks Michael -- that would be wonderful!  now, may I go over this with you?
I enter:

00 01 * * * echo mkdigest socopoet-digest socopoet-digest-hiddenalias,nobody
mypassword | mail majordomo@myserver.net

is that right?  and what is it I do if it takes up more than one line?  I use
the backslash? -- or is it necessary for this?  is that only in config files?

also, if I do this, will I need to do anything in regards to length of the
digest when I submit my config file for the digest?  it seems this would take
care of that, and I could leave that alone.  what do you suggest?  (my digests
are way too long and irregular and infrequent for this group and this
information.)

I am very grateful for your help!
