When I signed up, I wasn't sure how many members there were, or how
busy the list was. So, on the off-chance that it was extremely busy (I
know some lists generate hundreds of emails a day), I decided to just
get it in digest form so I wouldn't have to wade through them all.
Also, I rarely use email to communicate anymore, so they tend to pile up
between account log-ins. With regard to replying directly to the author
of a given reply, what I meant was that I try to avoid sending messages
directly to the individual in order to keep from filling up others'
inboxes with redundant messages when I can simply respond in the thread.
I'm still not sure I'm expressing myself clearly. My main concern is
having my replies appear correctly within an expanded thread. Also, I'd
like to respond without having the individual I'm replying to receive a
notification from both the list, as well as a direct email from me, just
to avoid the redundancy. I suppose it's a pretty minor thing, really.
But, it's one of those netiquette things I try to abide by whenever
possible.

Why did you choose to subscribe to the digest when you're receiving
the email via a Web client? To use the digest in combination with a
webmail based client sounds counter intuitive to me. When I wish to
reply directly to the original author in of a PDML generated post I
simply expand the header (show details) and quickly copy and paste the
new address into the 'To:" box.
