As any long time reader knows, answers take time to research and write, and we get that it can be annoying when you see an interesting question *too early*, before an answer is written, and for whatever reason forget to go back! We already make several great options available to alleviate this, including 'RemindMeBot" links auto-posted to every page, and the recently introduced AskHistorians Browser Extension. There is also of course our various Showcases, such as ur Twitter, Facebook, and the Sunday Digest. And although reddit isn't the most robust of sites, there are even some built-in tools that can be utilized.

But today we're giving a little more visibility to one more tool you can add to your arsenal, one which can deliver content straight to your inbox! For those who regularly peruse the Friday FFA thread, you no doubt have noticed /u/subredditsummarybot's weekly roundup posts, which highlight the most popular questions and comments made in the sub!

If you don't though, or just have briefly scanned through, you might not be aware that you can subscribe to the feature personally! To get the weekly roundup sent to your inbox is simply a matter of sending /u/subredditsummary bot a message titled 'askhistorians weekly'. If you want it every day, simply title it 'askhistorians'.

It is also highly customizable, with keywords and score thresholds! A message sent titled 'set askhistorians weekly' allows you to specify in the message field a number of upvotes that must be reached, and then an optional list of keywords you want to search for, separated by commas, like so:

200  
50, keyword1, another keyphrase, last example

It can also be set up daily by just sending it titled 'set askhistorians'. Full documentation on the configuration can be found on the Bot's Wiki Page, as it can be much more versatile than just this!
