I checked for mime problems, but that's not it. I'm stripping to 
text/plain, 8859-1. No funky stuff.

Looking in the digest.mbox files, it looks like the messages causing 
problems don't have a terminating \n on the message:

> -- 
>
> Sharks are the best from the east to the west!!
> Go Sharks!!!
> Check out the latest news, etc. @ 
> <http://www.gingerose.info>plaidworks.com 162#
>

So it looks like the digesting code needs to be taught to either 
recognize this and add it if missing, or (easier) simply throw out an 
extra \n when appending a message to the digest.mbox file. that's 
harmless in the mbox format...

Off to whack the code...
