I don't really want to get digests to test this, but I wonder which
clients actually support replying to portions of a digest?

To be honest, I think that anybody who has trouble dealing with the
downloading the volume of mail from this list, should probably try a
usenet gateway, instead (e.g. gmane).

A good news client only downloads the list of what's available, not all
the message bodies.  You can set it to only *show* you the last few days
messages, but you can still search further back to find the origins of a
thread.  You can set it to only cache a few days worth of messages
bodies that you do download (so a re-read doesn't involve a
re-download).  And you can reply to individual messages easily.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
