The digest boilerplate is in the template masthead.txt. See the FAQ at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp>
for information on editing templates.

You will probably need the assistance of your host to install an edited
template for your list.

However, if this is an announcement list, why allow digests at all? If
you set Digest options->digestable to No and turn off 'digest' for
your current digest members, you won't care what the digest masthead
says. (You may also need to set digest_is_default to Regular.)

If you are posting so many announcements that digesting is desirable,
perhaps you should consider batching them into fewer posts.
