Curious [...] what the best/netizen-polite way is to end up with a reply that's appropriately threaded. Do I just need to mirror the subject line?
Speaking for myself: - If possible, change your digest mode from text to MIME in your personal setting dialog of the mailman interface. This leaves all relevant headers intact and you can directly reply to each individual message, preserving correct threading. However, be aware, that some MUAs don't support this. - If you need to stick with text digest, please trim your message to the absolute minimum and add the same subject as the original posting (add the usual reply prefix, if not already present). This way MUAs are able to restore threading by subject. It's not nice, but tolerable. That said ... if possible, just avoid digest by subscribing in default mode and then filtering all messages by list-header. This way, you can even ignore threads which are not relevant for you. Bjørn
