Believe it or not, but this is *my own favourite*, too;-( On numerous occasions 
this question has been discussed, but nothing has changed sofar... TB 
developers seem to pretend "deaf and blind" each time anybody starts to 
suggest MIME digests-related improvements... I *hope* TB ver.2 will fix this 
once and forever, but who knows? Anyhow, ver.2 will support the plugins, so it 
will be relatively easy to make the necessary functionality available anyway;-)

As of now, my suggestion would be: there exist some programs already 
available that "split" complicated MIME structures into individual messages. 
You might get one of these (or simply write a Perl script, it's as easy as that;-
)) and make an Inbox filter (triggered by "Content-type: multipart/digest" in 
kludges or somewhat similar) with action "launch external program". 
Something of this sort...
