I'm replying to this from the digest!
There are two ways of taking the digest. With good mail programs, the
best way is the MIME digest format. Although the details may vary, good
mail programs will allow you to decompose the digest. In the case of
Thunderbird/Iceweasel, it displays the concatenated messages, with
specially formatted header lines, and provides access to the individual
messages as though they were attachments.
There is a minor bug in that, when replying to a reply, Thunderbird adds
an extra "Re:", but that is easily fixed.
Doing it this way, rather than just editing out the rest of the digest,
has the added advantage that a correct In-Reply-To header is sent, that
can help threading readers.
(What I really hate is where people ignore the warning at the top of
the digest, and simply copy the whole digest, or that part after the
message to which they are responding. That cuts short the next digest
and also forces one to plough through lots of old postings, possibly to
find that the culprit has overflowed the digest size limit and there are
no more real items in the digest.)

I am receiving messages in the digest mode. I see that most replies to topics
include the text of the prior message and a modified subject line in the form
you would expect when replying to an email. However, there is no way to reply
directly to a topic and include the prior text and subject line as far as I
know. How can I do this?
