Does Smartlist's digester escape a series of dashes of just the right length to be confused with the digest MIME boundary if an article happens to contain a line starting with such a series? I assume the answer is yes, as a misplaced boundary would wreak havoc with the digest, and Smartlist is pretty clever about most such things. I don't see this question addressed in the FAQ, so I hope it's ok to ask here before I plunge into the source.
My question was inspired by a complaint from a subscriber to my digest, saying that "The Bat!" is confused by any series of dashes as long or longer than the boundary. Obviously such a series would be common, since it's used so often to introduce those popular advertizing footers in the free mailers. I'd prefer to respond to this guy knowing the facts.
TIA,
Jim
