Assuming it isn't a deliberate denial of service attack, someone who 
doesn't know how to use their email client is trying to reply (or post 
by tail-ending) to a non-MIME list digest (or using a mail client with 
particularly poor MIME digest handling), without pruning it, and is 
failing to realise the havoc they are causing.  I suspect it may prove 
necessary to bar them from the list.

I'm not sure why we aren't getting the complete digest as I didn't think 
that gmail had particularly small size limits.

non-MIME digests should only be used for replies as a last resort and 
only if you have a thorough understanding of the internals of internet 
email protocols.  Whilst you can prune out the other articles, you will 
still break threading.
