OT - How to reply to digest email?

[Nick Bishop]

Hi people,

I am subscribed to fedora-list in digest mode, to cut
email volume.  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?

If your mail cient is MIME aware, you can get your digests in MIME format. 
Then you can read each message as if it were a separate e-mail.

Check your preferences at www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo.

If your mail client can filter messages into folders, you could also stop 
using the digest and filter indivdual messages as they arrive.  The you 
can use threading and other mail cient features on that mailbox.

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.).

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).

The digest seems to contain enough headers for a proper In-Reply-To:

Get a gmail account, shut off digest. I use one exclusively for mailing
lists. It threads and makes reading mailing lists very easy.

I've Turned off digest, but what is it that I get with
gmail that I don't get with yahoo?

The nick4soup address is for mailing lists, my normal
address is different.
