Check archives and click the e-mail address of the person you're 
replying to: e.g., 
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-May/058055.html 
gives something like

This should work.

Probably because there is no need for one. Create a filter to give a
certain label to all emails to the mailing list and to skip the inbox
for them and you get much better functionality than you do with
digests.

Um, I thought it would be better to talk privately but surprised it is
forgotten at all so do it:

Users can burst digest format messages into separate mails locally. It
means, you can scan the digest and burst them into messages only if
you want to reply. Most of ancient mail user clients have this "burst"
function. If your mailers have no such function, there is still
possibilites to get a script and run. Search for "burst digest
messages".

By the way, Gmail doesn't seem to have that burst command, sad.

This is usually related to an error in your mail client or the mailman
server.  It is usually a mail header (if you are using gmail, try
clicking near a mail (the arrow down) and select 'show original') that
tells whether it is a reply to another mail.

Sophisticated clients like pine or mutt can figure out to draw an
accurate tree.  Of course, gmail just renders its as a conversation,
which is fine too.

But digest is in this case the origin of this issue.  And even with
gmail, using digest makes no sense, since gmail can sort it better
than mailman in most cases.

Even that solution sometimes creates new threads, for reasons unbeknownst to 
me. Turning off Digest mode is the best solution. Digest is intended for people 
who only intend on reading and replying infrequently; Adam is not that person. 
With the frequencies of his replies he'd be better suited for individual emails 
mode.

Well, first of all, it's best to *not* use digest.  You use gmail, so
all of the e-mails would be threaded together automatically if you
turned digest off.

If you won't turn off digest mode, you should probably copy the
"Subject" for the message you're replying to and put that as the
subject for the new e-mail you create.

[Foundation-l] Threading

[Adam Cuerden]

If someone will tell me how to get messages to thread if you're in
digest mode - I've been making honest efforts to try and get threading
- I will happily use whatever technique is suggested. Until then, I
apologise for killing threads.
