I have a love/hate relationship with ddigest. It works and undigestify all my
digest, but I get the following:

1. When going into a newsgroup populated by ddigest, yarn95 will usually die
with "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut
down." If I get lucky, I can get into my digest without yarn95 dying.
Unfortunately, I deal with this daily.
2. Each digest I undigestify will create a junk msg per digest.

The newgroup articles created by ddigest are so bad that sometime I can't
even expire articles without getting
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
Sometime I expire my read newsgroups by using "expire" instead of "expire95".
