Make Mj::Deliver::deliver keep count (although what you want to keep count
of is questionable, since it delivers digests and normal messages at the
same time in parallel).  Return the count.  Make Mj::Mailout::deliver
return this count as well, perhaps in a or hashref so you could keep track
of digest subscribers and other classes separately).  Take those results
and send them back to the user where appropriate.

S> It's useful for the person sending the post in two ways.

You haven't convinced me to spend any time on it at all.  It's "gee whiz
factor", chrome, whatever.  IMHO useless.  Not that I won't take a patch,
if it's well done.  That's always the case.

I've said it before and I can't say it any more strongly: I don't care one
whit what Listserv does.  Next you're going to want to keep track of CPU
usage as well, so we can report back another bit of entirely useless data?

Wow.  So I have no idea of all of those users are on the digest and won't
get it until next week.  I'm in no better a state than I was before.
