ok, i think i got it, but it was bizarre.

there were two messages stuck in the outbound queue that were being
repeatedly delivered to the bmw-digest (and not to the non-digest
readers.) they were both from the same digest member, but since it's
unlikely that it was either his fault or the fault of his ISP, i won't
embarass him in public. however, if folks could try to avoid blank
messages until i figure it out, i'd appreciate it (both messages were
entirely blank multipart/alternative mime, which may have been what
screwed up the processing.)

i removed them from the queue about 20 minutes ago and the bogus
digest messages have not recurred (nobody saw any overnight because i
was manually removing them from the digest spool directory.)
