Not to be outdone, I tried the same thing. I created a new account and
specified digest mode. As you say, TBird works (quite elegantly I might
add). KMail works too, if a little less elegantly (you have to
double-click on the digest component you want to reply to, otherwise
you'll get a reply to the digest as such, but at least it only quotes
the digest lead-in material in that case).

OTOH Evolution just doesn't want to know. It treats a digest like any
other message. I feel an Enhancement Request coming on ...
