Posting responses from the Digest ?

[John Austin <jw...@sympatico.ca>]

Is there a good way for a Digest reader to send a response to the
list ?

I prefer the digest and occasionally want to reply. It is
non-trivial so I usually just e-mail the original poster. This
is Ok but the contribution doesn't get archived.

Thanks.

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...

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?

Do not reply to the digest. Replies contain a hidden header field with a
reference to the mail you reply to. That helps threading in the mail
viewer, but a reference to the digest mail would destroy the threading.
Most mail readers will place a reply without any reference into the
thread with the same subject. Then copy over the list mail address and
the subject (remember to include "Re: " if not already present) of the
mail you are replying to, and the parts of the mail you want to reply to
(mark them with "> ").
