My MUA is Thunderbird, and I could find nothing relevant on the Net (and not on the Mozilla site either). I have looked at the Apple Mail script, and I don't feel up to the task of writing an adaptation for Thunderbird. On the other hand, I don't want to leave Thunderbird for Mail. So I have to go on writing replies to the whole digest (like this message). Many thanks to all who offered sugestions!
