This happens _all the time_ with digest mode, and (intending no offence
to Alexander) in my experience you cannot get its users to manually fix
attributions or Subject headers.

Digest mode also completely bollixes threading in the archives (see:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/list/dng.en.html) _and_ elsewhere. For this
reason, I've given serious consideration to just blanket-disabling
digest mode on every Mailman installation I administer, and just let the
two or three users of that mode curse me as long as they feel is
therapeutic.
