is there any way (easy or not easy) to customize the format of the digest messages?

we are using a digest on a broadcast list (as requested by many users) and the table-of-contents section has a couple things i wouldn't mind removing or altering slightly.

1) the subject lines in the TOC are truncated to a certain number of characters... but the full messages show the full subject line... would it be possible to have the TOC show the *full* subject line?

for instance :

"Call for Papers - 19th International Symposium on Ice: Using New Technology to Understand Water-Ice Interaction"

is reduced to :

"Call for Papers - 19th International Symposium on Ice: Using New Technolo"

the first one is useful to people... the second one... less so.

2) the "by" line is *always* the same... since it is a broadcast list... it would make the TOC section much more readable to have that line removed entirely... or replaced with a line break. i wouldn't want this to be global obviously... as on participatory lists i'd need it. so mostly i am wondering if there is anyway to make per- digest formating?

i am thinking either is impossible. or highly unlikely to be an easily done thing... but i said i would ask... and thus i am.

thanks.
