I do not have a recent Listserv here (just an old 1.8d), because
upgrading is too expensive to our University. That is why I do not
know if the below problem still exists in the newer version.

Back in year 2001 I have reported to LSOFT a bug with HTML MIME boundary.
They said it would be fixed (perhaps in a newer version).
Maybe this is the problem your user can see sometimes:

  I.e. when there is in a mail line with 30 or more dashes:
  ------------------------------
  then it would clash with the default HTML digest MIME boundary,
  that is 28-dash line unfortunately (in 1.8d version at least):

Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/html";
              boundary="----------------------------"

The non-HTML MIME digest (DIGEST NOHTML MIME) uses random string
for a boundary, while HTML MIME digest uses simple digest divider
(in my old 1.8d version).
