Since no one seems to be jumping on this, I'm going to have to hack it(in the truest sense) together. Here's the approach I've been thinking on....I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Would be better to add a field to the "subscribedforum" table.
digest smallint 6 not null default 0;

There is already an email notification field in there, but I feel it has other uses.
In my opinion the cleanest way to do this would be similar to the move/delete functionality on the PM screen. They would have to click a button but you can set the programming in such a way so that the screen doesn't refresh.

This is the best way to do it automatically.

Programmatically using BCC over individual TO: must likely won't save email resources but might on PHP.

If someone subscribes to a very active forum, these emails can be quite large. I am personally working on doing a layout like:

Newthread title (XX replies)
Snippet of Text
...
Old Thread Title has XX New Replies
...
Related News (most likely from Moreover)

NewThreads are those created within the last 24 hours. Old Threads anything else. I will most likely insert targetted text advertisements in my digests as well.

What I have currently is for our team forums. It doesn't have subscription or template capabilities. It sends an email to everyone who has access to those forums regardless of their desire to receive it.
