In which case the issue Brian was asking about is moot!

As I pointed out in another message, Mailman is supposed to support the 
MIME multipart/digest content type as a user-selectable option _AFTER_ 
they have chosen the digest option.  If this option were made available 
by the list admins _AND_ Brian chose it,, it would not affect your 
copies of the list mail at all.
