What is the effect of those of us who receive the digest and hit 'Reply to' and then edit subject line? If we don't edit the subject line it gets the useless unedited heading, and anyway the Reply to header must foul up any chance of threading.

Not sure what happens.


 I wonder why threading is done that way when so often congruence of subject
 line is the desired basis of threading. And presumable the situation would
 be just as bad if someone on the digest list simply created a new email from
 scratch.

You got me thinking- If anyone out there is writing a new mail client- please make it have a message-digest-aware reply feature. It should be able to pick out the subject line and message-id based on how far into the digest you have scrolled!

It should also be aware of people like me, who, when starting a new thread, just open any old mail from the list and hit reply, so the To: field is filled out already. Sorry, folks!
