Appreciate all the input everyone! It's helpful Suresh - great pointer - it looks like they do. I didn't even notice it as an option. I think this will be the fastest/easiest method for me in webmail-land.

Does nanog have a mime digest format so you get one big email with all the emails of the day attached as separate eml? Then all you do is select just the particular email you want to reply to and there you are.

Generally speaking, you want to trim the digest to the relevant posts, bottom posting your reponse (if you’re interested in nitpicking). This practice was prevalent until Microsoft Outlook introduced the top post culture. Let’s not go down that rabbit hole.
Additionally, editing the subject line to include what you’re responding about can be helpful.

Hi all,
I (and I'm sure many of you) subscribe to daily digests from NANOG to keep things concentrated. However, there are sometimes messages in the digest I'd like to reply to, and I don't want to be that guy who just replies to the digest and opens an ugly new thread.
Curious what workflow/process any of you use to do so, and 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?
