I digest the tail under pretty much the same conditions, but for
Southerns I do consecutive phenol and chloroform extractions (1 each)
and precipitate using an equal volume of isopropanol. Air dry the pellet
for a few minutes and dissolve in TE at 55C for as long as is necessary,
with shaking if possible, or by raking the tube over an Eppi rack. The
DNA will rarely fail to digest.
