[Mailman-Users] RE;Cron/senddigests bug

[Dan Phillips]

Tried that and it reported no problems. The problem definitely seems to 
be in digest.mbox, although I can't see anything wrong. I renamed it 
and sent a test message to create a new one, the ran cron/senddigests 
-l, and it went out fine. when I moved the original mbox back it 
generated the same error. I also ran bin/cleanarch on it and it 
reported no problems and the correct number of messages.

Where's the best documentation on the structure of an mbox file?

thanks!
