	It's not a bug.  The issue is that Mailman doesn't know how to 
take all the incoming attachments from all the various input messages 
and then put them together in a way that would make sense in the 
archive.  So, it puts them in a directory on the webserver instead, 
and includes an URL to the location within the appropriate place in 
the digest.
