Sorry to disagree, but the only digests we have ever received at
our site that duplicated other messages were ones that contained
a large number of small messages.  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)
