Why have the prior 2 "gcc Digest" emails *not* been digests? (fwd)

He contacted my directly, but as I'm not involved with the mailing lists
at all, could any of you please have a look?

Subject: Why have the prior 2 "gcc Digest" emails *not* been digests?

The most recent two "gcc@gcc.gnu.org" email postings (Digest ... Issue
675 and 676) came to me as concatenations of all the messages in the
digest.  I have been subscribed (only) to the digest-form of that
list.  I prefer the digest format with internal header details and
MIME "multipart/digest" designation.  Is this a temporary glitch or a
permanent change?  If the latter, where was it discussed?

"Received:"-header lines.):

Compare the above with for instance"gcc Digest 23 May 2000 04:16:31
-0000 Issue 673" (properly a digest) which arrived Tuesday morning:

I also note that the latest form loses the "List-Unsubscribe:" header
that is featured on   http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html   for the benefit
of the community.
