(nod) That is what I gathered from the web. But it keeps happening every day. And thanks to your next comment I figured it out..... > You have to find the problem message which will be in some list's > lists/listname/digest.mbox file and edit the file to either fix or > remove the problem message.

Unused, except that they attract the occasional piece of spam! While the digest.mbox for the main list was cycling properly, the digest.mbox for one of the smaller ones was 'stuck' starting with the date the error appeared! Fortunately no one gets the digest on that list, so I just trashed it. And I am also happy because this means there is no 'regular poster' on the main list using a broken MUA. (wipe brow with relief) Excellent! So the cause was what I thought. I just had to look in the right list for the 'bad' message.
