BTW, when replying to digest emails it's easier for others to follow and
see what you're replying to if you:
1. Change the subject line from "Re: support-seamonkey Digest..." to
"Re: <the topic you're replying to>"
2. Delete the other topics from your reply, so only the part you're
replying to remains.

For me, reading Tim's response from a newsreader (Seamonkey), I've
noticed that all of his responses are turning up as new threads
(including that the subject line is showing the digest name, rather than
the original subject).  Seeing headers of a previous message quoted in a
response leads me to believe that he's replying to messages by
forwarding a previously-posted message and then top-posting his response.

Not necessarily (in fact, "Re:" rather than "FW" suggests that he is replying rather than forwarding). It's just a side-effect of replying to the digest. Since the digest contains several emails, is has a separate ID in its Message-ID header. On replying to that, the In-Reply-To and/or References headers indicate the ID of the digest, not of the original message, so it doesn't appear as part of the same thread.

Changing the subject line and deleting other topics won't stop that happening, but does make it easier to tell what the reply relates to.

Mark.
