Speaking for myself:
- If possible, change your digest mode from text to MIME in your personal
setting dialog of the mailman interface. This leaves all relevant headers
intact and you can directly reply to each individual message, preserving
correct threading. However, be aware, that some MUAs don't support this.
- If you need to stick with text digest, please trim your message to the
absolute minimum and add the same subject as the original posting (add the
usual reply prefix, if not already present). This way MUAs are able to restore
threading by subject. It's not nice, but tolerable.
That said ... if possible, just avoid digest by subscribing in default mode and
then filtering all messages by list-header. This way, you can even ignore
threads which are not relevant for you.
