I don't think this is true -- at least not for if you use the
mime-style digest. It's trivial in most clients to reply to
individual messages from the mime-style digest and have proper
threading, subject, etc.
I wasn't aware of that. I think the last time I received a digest must
be over 10 years ago. Does "most clients" include Evolution, Thunderbird
and Kmail (which I'm guessing are probably the top three on these
lists)?
