I found they dealt pretty badly with all of them. I use quaint old Alpine which deals with attached messages just fine, but then I am strange.

The disadvantage is that a lot of mail systems, particularly popular webmail, deal poorly with embedded messages. Agreed. I'd be worried that some (web) MUAs would deal with multipart/digest worse than they deal with message/rfc822 contained in the former. Especially with the comment that someone made about inline vs attachment disposition of the message/rfc822 MIME parts. When the IETF was trying to figure out the least bad way to deal with DMARC list damage I mocked up some possibilities including a couple of ways to wrap messages as attachments. We found that unwrapping and replying to them worked poorly, so we decided on per-user From rewrites (my dmarc.fail hack) instead. Yep.
