I just checked through the four digests that I have received today and all the messages are there that I received on the regular list. I think that if they were all there today, they should have all been there most any time. volume 254-- 26KB - 16 messages volume 255-- 28KB - 17 messages volume 256-- 26KB - 11 messages volume 257-- 27KB - 12 messages But you already know the number of messages, it is listed in the early part of the message.
