Sure thing.


% Don't worry you're not changing the way I work at all, just helping me
% define a way.

Good enough.  There are certainly lots of ways to do that :-)

% How do I reply to a particular part of the digest? If I see a 'RE:
% something I posted' in the digest do I simply address a message to
% [EMAIL PROTECTED] with that subject line or is there some way of mutt
% knowing which part of the digest I'm reading?

Well, AFAIK most folks don't reply to digests; they get the individual
messages and then reply to them.  The digest itself is a different
message, and so when you reply to that you're in a different thread than
you would be if you replied to the original.

There are digest exploding tools out there, but they only have the info
in the digest -- and the original Message-ID: and References: headers
aren't in there.

Using the subject of your message "thread" is a good start, because mutt
will also group in similarly-subjected messages if you tell it it can
be a little loose.  mutt otherwise doesn't have a way to tell what part
you meant, though.  In fact, three different replies to the same digest,
even if they had three different subjects, would all be threaded together
if the parent message (the digest) were available because that's how
threading works.

Do you have a particular love for the digest version, or are you just
used to that and haven't thought about changing?  I think you'll very
much like mutt's threading capabilities and will never go back to a
digest again :-)
