      Okay, I've caught it in action.  The first one below is from the 
digest.mbox the second two from a digest.

      It seems that a fair number, but not all, of the errors follow a post 
with a Yahoo ad at the end.  The second one above follows a post from me 
which had nothing tacked on the end, the third one runs into a post from 
me, and again, nothing non standard.


      I checked the archive mbox for the second instance above, and it has:

      There is a missing blank line, but the two posts are not run up 
against each other and the system does recognize them as two different posts.

      While I'd like to know why, my first concern is fixing it.  Is there 
a way to force an extra blank line between posts when creating the digest mbox?
