One, you may want to put a filter in place that will bounce the offending
messages back to the list owner before they get distributed to the list.

Two, make sure whoever is doing the approving is not sending the approved
message in MIME, HTML, or other non-pure ASCII text.

Three, in your *-digest.config files, set up a filter to catch BOUNCE.  On
the other hand, if it got into the digest, I can just about guarantee that
it got into the "regular" list too.
