I was going to write that there is no formal digest format, but it
appears an [RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1153) actually
describes a somewhat standard format. If the `Message-ID` is provided
for each message then the problem appears to be that MailMate is not
smart enough to handle these digest messages. When replying to a
digest message then MailMate should identify its subparts and ask the
user which one to reply to. It should then setup the correct subject
line, in-reply-to header, skip the subject-warning, etc.
It turns out, there *is* actually a way to do this in MailMate, I’ve
found: the All Messages folder has an All Message Subparts sub-folder,
in which each individual message from a digest appears. This seems to
be a ‘special’ folder (in that I can’t see any setting in the
Edit Mailbox view that makes it work like this, or a way to set up one
of these in the Mailing Lists smart folder, for example), but it works
— I can select an individual message and reply to it (like I am with
this one!).
Oh, I actually thought the digest format was one single body part. In
this case, MailMate could also make it easier by providing more options
in the context sensitive menu of an embedded message. I'll keep that in
mind.
