A lot of "if"s follow. If you get the digest as a long email of continuous text, it's likely that each item is preceded by a header line like (yours) Message-ID: <5e13dfc7-8fa0-490f-98ae-e37ecdef5...@mac.com> I know you can see it because you've quoted it above; that might be different for other people. If you paste the <...> string into a reply-to line like (mine) In-Reply-To: <5e13dfc7-8fa0-490f-98ae-e37ecdef5...@mac.com> that will at put your message in the correct place in the thread. That's if you can see/edit the headers; not every client can. If you get the digest in the other form, where messages are in attachments (and their attachments are attached, not scrubbed), eg 1 lilypond-user Digest, Vol 173, Issue 5 [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.5K] 2 Today's Topics (6 messages) [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.3K] 3 <no description> [multipa/digest, 7bit, 44K] 4 ├─>Re: An 'interpreter' for lilypond [message/rfc822, 7bit, 3.2K] 5 ├─>Re: An 'interpreter' for lilypond [message/rfc822, 7bit, 1.1K] 6 ├─>Re: An 'interpreter' for lilypond [message/rfc822, 7bit, 3.8K] 7 ├─>Re: An 'interpreter' for lilypond [message/rfc822, 7bit, 1.2K] 8 ├─>Re: An 'interpreter' for lilypond [message/rfc822, 7bit, 4.1K] 9 └─>Drawing wavy line across the bars [message/rfc822, 7bit, 30K] 10 └─><no description> [multipa/related, 7bit, 29K] 11 ├─><no description> [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 2.6K] 12 │ ├─><no description> [text/plain, 7bit, utf-8, 1.0K] 13 │ └─><no description> [text/html, quoted, utf-8, 1.4K] 14 └─>1.png [image/png, base64, 26K] 15 Digest Footer [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.1K] you might find that you can open and then reply to the appropriate attachment, in which case the In-Reply-To: line might get filled in automatically. Unfortunately, none of this might work. The world is full of broken email clients, including some of the most popular.
