Just to make that clear, that is not because of the subject, but because a reply to a digest will lack References and/or In-Reply-To headers pointing to the replied-to message. And unlike the subject (which can be fixed easily by taking a few seconds to edit it), most MUAs (if not all) do not allow one to edit those headers. Someone might say that asking for properly threaded messages is just being picky, but it surely makes reading much easier and the list of messages is much clearer. > I did not know that.

It's even available in the archives. I believe the reason Debian's mailing lists do not use mailman is that they precede mailman.
