B) on whether you get the digest in mime or plain text form. If you get it as a mime digest then an intelligent mail client should be able to let you open and reply to an individual message from within the digest. I _USED_TO_ get the mime digest (still have some in my fedora folder) so I just opened one with pine, selected a message from the attachment list, and hitting enter. ( in pine would be one of the lines tagged as "Message," <see below> ) once the individual message was opened I hit reply, edited the To: address to my own mailbox and sent myself a reply. Examining the reply that was delivered to my inbox with pines show all headers mode I was able to confirm that the "In-Reply-To: header did have the message id from the original individual message, and NOT the message id from the whole digest. So if you get the mime digest version and use a good email program such as pine, it is doable... incidentally, this also prevents having to do all that cut and paste as pine will quote only the individually selected attachment instead of the whole digest. if it matters I'm using the PINE 4.60 package from the dag repository...
