Unfortunately, the digest did not include any base64 encoded messages this time.

So all I can say is that gmail is unsuitable for handling
digest-subscription, as it displays all messages inline. It's not
possible to reply to the single message (well, at least not if you
want to preserve a thread.
The only way to preserve a thread would be to request a single message
(using the get<number> mailinglist command (I remember Friedrich and
Florian did wonder where the message-numbers are used at all) and use
that single message as basis for the reply, but no user will do that)
- on the other hand, gmail users will very likely not use
digest-subscription (as there just is no need for this, if you don't
want to follow a thread, you can mute it and won't be bothered with
mail of the same thread.

The message itself is a multipart/digest one, with correctly delimited
messages and complete headers (also including the mail-archive.com
one) for each single mail - so "real" mailclients that don't handle
those properly/cannot even display the messages are buggy as hell and
don't deserve the name.

So again: Only problem with gmail is that it doesn't show them as
individual messages, but shows them all inline, in one message.

For reference/Documentation purposes a fullquote of the digest-mail as
received/displayed/what you get when you use reply in gmail without
editing:
