The digests containing a small number (read: one) of messages, ie. large arcs and other things, are usually our only source for those messages. Note that the digests are almost always accompanied by a strange error message indicating (to me, anyways) that the digests only made it to us because they were bounced off some other system, which then decided to post the error message along with the article. (see my posting from yesterday, that is, if it ever makes it to your site)
