I think you need to go:
https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Scroll down, click 'Unsubscribe or Edit Options', and then change to digest mode.

Or, if you'd like I'll send you a gmail invite - it's pretty good with lists, and you have almost 3 GB of space... (I don't work for google - I just like gmail for lists)

How do I move from getting every single posting to just a daily digest? Much as I love being able to access all this information, I need space for other things. Can someone help me stem the tide just a bit?

The trouble with digest is that it doesn't let you thread email, so it's hard to follow a conversation (at least, I find it hard). You might find you get the best of both worlds by creating a filter for gimp-user and redirecting all mail for this list to its own folder. That way, your inbox remains uncluttered but conversations remain listed in a logical order.

I filter on [To or CC = gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU].

simple to break a digest into individual emails if you desire. Use procmail:
formail -ds procmail < file.txt
-s (split digest or xx), pipe a file back into system as if just rec'd -d Tell formail that the messages it is supposed to split need not be in strict mail-box format

formail is part of procmail.
