More than one? When you change a member from digest to non-digest, that
member generally receives one last digest because she hasn't received
those posts accumulated for the digest at the time of the change.

In the worst case, you will change the member from non-digest to digest
and back; the member will receive one last digest and complain; you
will again switch her from non-digest to digest and back; she will
again receive one last digest; ...

If digest is unchecked in Membership Management... --> Membership List
the member is not receiving digests except possibly for one last
digest as above. You can also follow the link from Membership
Management... --> Membership List to the member's options page, but it
will show the same setting.

You can also do

  bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck | grep -A5 one_last_digest

to see at least some of the members who are going to receive one last
digest.
