That's why I don't like digests. They are more trouble than they are worth. Nothing beats good filters. Once upon a time when I was on a mailing list in digest form, I'd simply change the subject line to match what I was replying to. Then I'd carefully cut out everything that wasn't applicable to the one (out of 20 or 30 messages) I was responding to.
However, I'm on digest, and am not sure how to do this properly, when answering a question. I'm guessing a reply direct to the digest won't maintain the thread.
It's a bit clumsy though. And even in that case they don't always thread correctly.
This is the way I've handled it in the past as well. It is a bit clumsy, but with cut and paste it is not too difficult.
