Hey Barry, Do you mean as mailman builds the file during the day for the digest? If so, why would there be a bad message in there? If mailman's already processed a message and blasted it out to all the normal delivery people, why would there be a problem with it? Also, while we are sort of on the topic, would it be possible to put the message count back in the subject line? I recall there was a problem with the count being off from the actual number of messages... is this what you were getting at? One thing I hacked into a 2.0.x version was a "brief" digest - one that only gave the message subject list. The changes in ToDigest in 2.1.x were such that it made it a lot more difficult to make this happen. It would be great to get it back. I can revisit the code and see if I can come up with a patch, but other things need to stablize a bit.
