FWIW this did appear as a new thread in my client (Thunderbird).
Replying to the digest like this breaks the proper reply link in the message headers, and relies on clients using heuristics like matching the subject and quoted text, which not all clients will do.
Isn't it better to *not* put the "Re: " in the subject line, so that the reply keeps the same threading as the original message? Or am I just an outlier in doing it without the "Re: " addition in the subject line? Matt
