Nah, threading is already broken in a digest. Every "normal" post is either a reply to a previous post, in which case it continues the thread from that previous post, or the start of a brand new thread. But digests are special: they include many different posts. So the digest itself cannot be part of all of those independent threads. It has to be treated as a new post, and hence the start of a new thread. But not everyone gets digests, and they aren't archived. So when you reply to the digest, your reply shows up as a reply to a thread which doesn't exist anywhere. Editing the subject line will not break threading. Or at least it shouldn't -- there may be some feeble email programs which don't know how to thread correctly when you change the subject line. > I don't know what you mean, nik, about (including layer 8!)?

I have no idea what "layer 8" means either.
