You are correct, a typo on my part.

To be honest, that makes me nervous since perhaps somewhere else the newline
is expected.  At least chomping the $mailcmd in the 'digest' script solves the
known problem without potentially introducing others.  Of course the more
expedient solution is to simply define 'resend-host' in the 
'<maillist-digest>.config' file.
