Does it really? You might avoid some bandwidth/space in not having individual headers for each message, but you lose all sorts of things that you can do with messages (delete/ignore threads, watch threads, keep some messages, reply properly, etc.).
My question is when I see a message in the digest I want to reply to, how do I ensure that my reply gets attached to the right thread at the right point?
I do alter the subject line, and trim the reply-quoted stuff, but is there another trick I can also use?
That only relates your reply to the digest, not the original messages. Threading is done via header information.
You need a digest that has the entire message (headers, too), which negates the idea of cutting e-mail volume, and a client that could break them apart (again, negating the your reason for using a digest).
