Here is a clue to be checked out:

Some email systems have limits of the length of received
messages.  A thousand lines seems to a common value for the limit
on those systems that have limits.  It would be nice if the
systems that cut off messages at 1000 lines added a note
explaining that the message exceeded the limit, but I don't think
many of them do.
 
We have all of our digests set to size limits of 1000 lines and I
haven't heard of any problems.  This is the line in our list
header:
 
*  Digest= Yes,Same,Daily,00:30,size(1000)
 
It is possible that there is some other problem, but I think it
is unlikely that it was a control character in the middle of the
text.  I have seen some strange things happen to messages with
control characters in them, but I don't think this is one of
them.
