This happens to me too. I have already email the list maintainers. The cause in my case is encoding. I'm using Outlook Express on a Win95 box for reading my mail, but I also forward to another account to read with pine just for these occurrences. Digest #1663 truncated before your message here:

right at the start of the encoding. What mail readers are people using??? Is anyone else getting the truncation? Is this a broken reader (trying to autodecode) or is there something else wrong? My guess is the former. Would it be possible to filter out the "begin 644 " at the beginnings of lines??? That would quite possibly do the trick at least for me, but I am not sure if that would break thinks for others (which would be just as bad.) We can take this to private email, but I wanted a larger for the questions.
Added note: This encoding sceme seems to come through fine.
