Robert,

I have used your undigestifier and I have to say that it is a great program!
It does EXACTLY what I want. I highly recommend this undigestifier to YARN
users. The only critical comment I can make about it is the manual needs
more examples.

BTW, if I have a digest with 3 articles in it, I will get 4 articles.

1 (semi corrupt) article as the header of the digest
3 digest articles.

If I undigestify 50 digests, I will get 50 additional digest that are blank.
I assume ddig is making the header of the digest that list the subject of each
article a digest, correct? Is there a way around it? I'm probably forgetting
something.

Thanks,
Gary

Ps. I can clearify with an example if you like.
