[Mailman-Users] /home/mailman/cron/senddigest yields ValueError

[Dan Mick]

Looks to me like your digest_header value has a "percent-newline" ("%\n")
sequence in it; the % operator tried to substitute things from TemplateRefs() into
the digest_header, and failed with the message "unsupported format character.." and
things that indicate "newline".

Rethink your digest text wrt percent signs.
