You cannot do this with list configuration settings for reasons including the fact that Mailman fdoesn't add msg_footer to the messages in the digest; it only adds digest_footer at the end. You would have to modify Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py to add the footer after each message, but even then, since the "plain" digest is plain text by default, you couldn't add it as an anchor tag. You would just have to add something like <mailto:listname@my.domain?subject="subject of the message being read"> and hope that the user's MUA would render that as a clickable link. > In my experiments, I see that gmail interprets the digest as a single email > with all the postings strung together and no ability to reply to a particular > message.

In the plain digest, all the messages are concatenated in a single plain text digest. There do exist digest exploders for some MUAs that will break the digest into individual messages. In the MIME digest, each message is a separate message/rfc822 attachment. As you have seen, some MUAs like gmail display all the messages strung together and offer no ability to reply to a single message. Others like thunderbird (I'm not sure about outlook) will display all the messages inline, but still give the ability to open a single message and reply to it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
