Evolution now comes with spam-handling facilities - no need to set up
your own filters any more.

Another coomon mail agent to try is evolution, especially if you are a
fan of GNOME, since it sports heavy integration with the desktop, and is
the preferred agent for GNOME.

It's very Outlookish, if you like that sort of thing.  It has several
advantages, including support for PGP/GPG, HTML, MIME and other common
email standards.  

Unlike some of the other mail programs mentioned thus far, it also
supports IMAP (including v4) and even *cringe* Microsoft Exchange
servers. (Sorry fellas.)

It also supports message threading views, etc.

It's highly maintained, and development is handled by the GNOME
Foundation and Novell.  

Thunderbird's spam handling is better out of the box, but you can setup
a filter to tie directly into SpamAssassin and take care of that.

Laters,
T.J.

Um, you could always just set your digest options to "plain-text"
instead of MIME. Personally, I hate plain-text digests, but you might
feel differently about it. :)

kmail, thunderbird also have threading options. Infact kmail has something 
called "mailing list management" which detects mailing lists automatically. 
Couple of advantages of this "mailing list management" are that one does not 
need to remember the instructions to subscribe/unsubscribe to the mailing 
lists, figure out how to send the replies (ie to the list/sender etc.,). 
There are infact many more bells and whistles of course...

kmail handles digests pretty well if you don't split them using procmail using 
the examples in procmail's example manual page.

This is not an answer to your querry, hopefully somebody else will help.

 Would you be interested in browsing through the list as a newsgroup? I 
use thunderbird and see the mailing list as a newsgroup hosted by 
gmane.org (They host plenty of mailing lists as newsgroups). I have my 
gmail email as the email address for this mailing list. In Gmail, I 
filter these mails and send them to Trash. I personally find browsing 
newsgroups (with their threaded options) much more convenient than 
reading emails. The only client I have seen that threads emails is mutt.

Can anyone recommend an email program that works well when dealing with 
messages on the debian-user-digest list? I don't quite understand how 
the emails are put together. The email in the inbox contains attachments 
that are emails. Those email attachements I can open, but then those 
emails also contain more attached emails and those I can't open. I can't 
seem to hit the reply button to any of it.
