The lists/<listname>/digest.mbox file for the affected list contains a
malformed message from which an attempt to extract the attachment
filename throws the exception.

You have to either edit the digest.mbox file and 'fix' the problem
message or delete it, or move the file aside to resume digest
processing for the list.
