[Mailman-Users] filename too long error - stopping list

[Michael Rasmussen]

Update:

I've found the offending message and purged it from the list archives,
purged it from the shunt files, and purged it from everywhere I could
find it. 

Yet the problem persists.  So I'm looking for the temp file/mail area
where the file that contains this attachment may be found.
