Hmm...when I recreated the list the last time, I actually did turn off 
digesting. It doesn't require digesting, so I figured I'd turn it off, but 
got distracted by several fires that needed attending to and forgot I'd done 
that. Strange that none of the other lists are having a problem with 
digesting. Archives are turned off for all lists because of mail delivery 
degradation when it's turned on.

It was most likely user error on my part in not finding the files. That and 
I was swamped with a few other things and probably didn't search hard enough 
when the pathway didn't come through.

Hmm, most of the messages came from a Mac user; I don't know if that one 
specifically did or not. Wonder if that could be part of the problem?

Thanks, I'll check when I get the chance. :)
