There has also been problems with some email that if a message is in a
digest the is formatted for HTML, the digest WILL NOT SHOW any mail past
the end of the message that has the HTML end tag.  If it is saved to disk and
read using a text editor or word processor, the whole digest will be there.  In
this case, the poster that is using "rich text" (which becomes HTML in some
readers) needs to be educated not to use that feature.
