list digest / non-digest delivery problems?
Hi;
After LK switched to digest-only some time back I wrote an awk digest expander since I manage the list volume by filtering on key words in the subject field. Recently some messages with headers indicating a digest are actually coming through as individuals which really tarts things up.
While the digest expander is my problem, keying on reliable email headers it is significantly easier than coding logic to tell if the message is a real digest or an individual message. It would be very helpful to let the group know if there is a problem with digests and if the headers will accurately reflect the message content.
Thanks,
Tim.

meaning you're subscribed to linux-kernel-digest or linux-kernel-daily-digest at lists.us.dell.com, so this clearly isn't an issue with vger.kernel.org, right?

Hmmm. Nothing has changed on lists.us.dell.com regarding these lists in quite a while. Can you provide an example message that you believe is incorrect?
The linux-kernel-digest list sends one digest every 100KB, which I think is also near the vger single message size limit. Any chance what came through was a single message, yet still wrapped in a digest?

They'll have the normal mailman list headers on every message, can't you use those?

This is the first I've heard of any problems with the digester in a long time. Please provide an example message as requested above, and I'll look into it.
Thanks,
