Summary: Digest message count incorrect in 2.0.6 

Initial Comment:
In digests, the # of messages reported does not match  
the actual number of messages contained in the digest.  
  
Take, for example, this digest :  
Cgl_proof_subgroup digest, Vol 1 #130 - 14 msgs  
which has :

6 messages, not the 14 claimed by the subject.  
In general, all the lists seem to double-count some  
messages. If the digest only  
contains one or two messages, the subject seems to be  
correct, but it is less and  
less accurate as the message count increases.  
  
Perhaps it is counting messages with wrapped subject  
lines as 2+ messages?  
  
This has also been reported elsewhere:
