Yes. These are the attachments (or html parts) that were scrubbed from
the plain text digest and stored and replaced by links to the content
in the digest. The only way to avoid this is to set the list(s)
digestable attribute to No.

I don't know why you wouldn't have it for the archived list unless the
archived list also has content filtering that removes all the
attachments and html parts. In fact, for archived lists there are
normally two copies of every scrubbed part - one scrubbed from the
digest and one scrubbed from the archived message - unless
scrub_nondigest is Yes in which case the attachments/html parts are
scrubbed only once before the message is delivered/digested/archived.

I don't think it's in the FAQ.
