Tim, the most recent Listowners-D digest (#204) appears to be truncated
in my email client (Mozilla 4.51 [en] (Win95; I)). "Another partial
digest problem," I thought to myself <G>. But upon examining the actual
mail file with a text editor, lo and behold, the entire digest is
acutally there. For some reason it just won't completely display in
Netscape.

The truncation occurs in the middle of message #2 right before the line
of hyphens in the passage quoted below:

Could you check the original digest message to see if there any
extraneous characters that might have caused it? Is SmartList possibly
corrupting the file as it builds the digest?

Thanks,-Phil
