That's right, the digest is sent with each message in a separate MIME
'part'. These are broken out into attachments at the receiving end, but
entourage can display mime message attachments in line, so that's what you
see. 

To see this in work, send yourself a message with another message attached:
drag a message to the desktop to create a message file, then drag it back to
the attachment pane of a new message, and mail it to yourself. The message
was sent as a MIME attachment, but comes back to you with the text of the
message displayed in-line. That's what the 'content-dispositon: inline'
header means.
