In my experience, all are available through links, but never the ones given in 
the digest.

This thread is dying a quick death.  I have raised this issue with the 
nonsensical digest attachments several times in the last several years.  Those 
threads also died a quick death.  I wonder how many get the Lilypond user list 
via the digest rather than as individual emails.  I would guess maybe 4 or 5 
get the digest, or else this issue would get at least a little attention. 

Did you succeed in copying David Linn?  Did you get a response?  I don’t think 
he’s responded on the list.  Do you know any powers that be at gnu.org that are 
a little lower in the hierarchy?

Does anyone that gets the digest receive valid attachment URLs?

Thanks,
Pat Karl
