This is weird. I was going to blame your anti-virus software, but on closer 
checking it seems that it is something the [censored] Mailman does. It drives 
me up the wall because that link is no use, anyway, and never has been :^(

So it seems that I'll have to ask you to bear with me for another week or two. 
I'm currently teaching my new mailing list software about digests, and once 
that works to my satisfaction it'll be curtains for Mailman as far as I'm 
concerned. (I should agree to give talks on my software projects more often 
-- it does wonders for my productivity :^))

Incidentally, if there's something about digests that you always wanted to 
say, now is the time. I can do plain-text digests as per RFC1153 now but if 
you'd rather have MIME digests I'm going to do that too (though probably not 
both at the same time). Let me know.
