This makes me wonder: the ezlm digest is a MIME multipart containing
RCF822 parts, which should be the original messages with all relevant
headers, certainly the message id which should be put into the
In-Reply-To header of the answer.
A clever mail client should be able to reply to a message contained
in such a digest the same way as to a single message. Unfortunately,
I've never seen such a beast. Does anybody have more information on
this?

MS Outlook might be able to - it displays attached mails as attachments
(you need to double-click them to see the content). But I'm not sure if
Outlook places a In-Reply-To header into a response. But Outlook cannot
display mails in threads...
