The problem was that someone's mailing list software was returning all
digests to aquatic-plants at actwin_com. Strangely, the From: line was
also being set to aquatic-plants at actwin_com. But the email header had
enough information in it to allow me to identify the user who was causing
the problem, and remove him from the list.
There were a couple of subsequent cases where people quoted entire digests
when replying to a single article. Anyway, things seem to be stable now.
I don't intend to quit cold turkey, killing off the mailing list. A couple
of peole have volunteered to take over, and one of them will be replacing
me soon. The list will still have a home at actwin.com, so the transition
will, I hope, be very smooth. There should be no changes to the user
interface.

I am a very patient person. I am in no hurry.
