Get your digest in MIME format.  (Log into the list server to set this
option.)  Most mail readers know to treat the attachments in a MIME
message as separate messages.   In evolution (at least), they are all
collected in a meta-message in your in-box, but they can be replied to
individually.

That's how I read this list.
