That doesn't reply to the original message. So it lacks the threading provided by the “In-Reply-To” field, since you're not replying to the original message. It also lacks the correct Subject field, the correct attribution line, etc. So, no, I still recommend strongly against responding to digest messages — the information simply isn't there to compose a correct reply message. Instead, disable digest mode, and only after individual messages start arriving at your mailbox can you participate properly, by replying to them. -- \ “But it is permissible to make a judgment after you have | `\ examined the evidence.
