Or perhaps you didn't subscribe to the MIME version if it exists. On
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bash
IIRC the digest "radio button" selects only the non-MIME version.
To get the MIME one you have to go down to the section ridiculously
labelled:

Help-bash Subscribers
(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.) 

and press:

Unsubscribe or edit options

Some non-MIME list digests scrub the attachments and give links to
see them, which don't work. BTW I've never received a reply to any
email sent to webmast...@gnu.org about any of their lists/problems.

Cheers,
David.
