Yea, I've got a sourceforge bug open on that.  There's a bad mime message
(at least from mailman's point of view) destined for that list, and it's got
the rest of the message stuck behind it,because that piece of the pipeline
dies everytime it sees it.  You're probably shunting those notes too.

I ended up working around the problem temporarily, and getting my equivalent
list back on the air by going into the list directory, and deleting the digest.mbox file,
then doing an "unshunt" to put the messages in qfiles/shunt back into incoming.
Mailman then reprocessed the rest of the messages, which were ok, minus the bad
one, which didn't make it into the digest.
