There was a discussion about this on the HP/Agilent Yahoo group a week or
two ago. Someone mentioned that some other group he was a member of, anyone
that receives the digest was on 'permanent moderation' so if ever they
replied to a digest, it would be blocked. If they replied to a non-digest
message, the moderator would let it pass. This does not seem unreasonable
to me, because it inconveniences a lot of people to have a subject such as
the month of the digest, rather than something more specific.

Seems very reasonable, but for me personally, it doesn't matter: I
delete ALL messages (no matter what the forum) that have a subject of a
"digest".
Aside from being thoughtless, self-centered, and clueless, replies to
digests are INHERENTLY STUPID: By the very nature of digests, they
usually don't include the more recent messages on a topic. As a result,
any reply usually duplicates ideas (eg, solutions) in later messages
(that weren't included in the digest).
My advice? Disable digests, & explain to new users why the subject line
is important if one gets a lot of eMail.
