Open source forum SW with weekly digest feature

Have been looking everywhere for an open source BB / forum software product that allows to send out a weekly digest E-mail with ALL updated threads from ALL forums to ALL members. Have been looking at vBulletin, phpBB, Agora, ccBoard, Kunena, ...

None seem to have this feature, they only allow users to get mails when ONE subscribed thread or forum is updated. Do you know one?
Tip for best answer: M$3.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

you'll need an additional plugin/module for that. for phpBB you can use phpBB Digest. Description from the site: Sends customized email digests of forum posts to subscribers of a phpBB Version 2.x and Version 3.0.x forums. Daily or weekly digests can be sent. This modification is "lightweight" in that it does not heavily modify phpBB.

Thanks, I ran into that one while searching. It appears to be what I'm looking for but the installation instructions are discouraging for a non-techie like myself.

@lucg
yes, i agree. you either have to install it manually, or install AutoMod first
http://www.phpbb.com/mods/automod/

but like most opensource software, you could go to the support forum and hire someone that can install it for you.

support forum for phpBB Digest is here: http://phpbbservices.com/phpBB3/index.php

I suggest you try the vBcron tasks, these scheduled tasks is used by vBulletin. According to 'Brad' in his forum post at theadminzone.com, it was stated that "This task sends e-mail to all users that have subscribed to threads on your forum. As the names imply "daily" will send all new posts from the last day to any users that have subscribed to threads with new posts. Weekly does the same except it sends all new posts from the last 7 days."
