Looking at the list administration page, I see

If you turn digest mode on, you'll get posts bundled together (usually
one per day but possibly more on busy lists), instead of singly when
they're sent.                                 ^^^^^^^

So, it's pretty clear.  Of course, if English isn't a person's native
language, or if someone reads it in a hurry, there's always a chance of
misunderstanding, but even I, who always complain about poorly phrased
explanations with Fedora, :), think it's pretty clear.  

It's also, as far as I know, fairly standard with mailing lists.  
I'm sure there are exceptions, but all the lists I know that have
digests do it in an either/or manner--that is, either you get individual
mails or you get the digest.
