A general plea from my side here:

If there is no special reason for you to use Digest mode, please
switch it off. Digest mode breaks one very important feature that
enables handling mailinglists with a huge number of discussions:

Threading



Threading is based on the ID that each mail carries. If you reply
to a mail, your reply will have a (hidden) field that says it's
a reply to mail with ID x. If you use digest mode, this does not
work, because there are no individual mail IDs anymore. 

And at times, figuring out to which mail someone replied can be
rather difficult, so having the ID helps enormously to gain the
context of the discussion.


Thanks everyone.
