MIME boundary being set incorrectly

[Tgrace]

In 2.0.8, if a user has chosen to receive a MIME
digest, the mime boundary is declared as --__--__--
but the actual boundary used is __--__--

This causes problems for some mail servers.

You might be thinking of the plain text digests, which don't
set a boundary parameter on the Content-Type: header (and
actually, the Content-Type: header isn't even multipart0.
Plain text digests uses --__--__-- as a separator, which is
allowed by RFC 934.

MIME digests use a different boundary, which is properly set
and used.

Here's an example from my MIME digest subscription:

etc

Outlook seems to interpret it ok, giving me a text file
attachment with a summary of the message, an attachment
containing individual messages for the last 24 hours, and
the list footer. I have dbl checked my subscription and it
is indeed set to MIME digest. The following is a complete
header from todays digest up to msg 2:
