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:
Message: Date: From: Subject: To: Message-ID:

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