I'm not sure if I made my point clearly, though the answer may still be
the same: I do not want LISTSERV to do any formatting of the digest
per-se. What I want it to do is send me the archive file of the digest,
except using the headers from the digest instead of generating its own
headers. Currently, I get a message that starts (for example) like this:

[Followed by the body of the message of course...]
 
What I want instead is for it to simply start with:

In other words, I want it to resend the message, not send me a file
containing the message. Possible?
