I think it's caused by the fact that many of the individual messages in the are content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable, but the digest has no content-transfer-encoding in the header, so the quoted-printable data inside the messages included in the digest is treated as plain text and incorrectly formatted. If we know that ALL messages contained in the digest are quoted-printable, then it would just be a matter of changing the content-type of the digest, but I've noticed the problem doesn't occur on all messages.. some are fine.. so... I guess people's mailers are simply posting as quoted-printable, and the digest process is just including the message body as-is
