The converse applies to us digest subscribers.  The whole digest comes 
with the subject, "fedora-list Digest, Vol n, Issue m".  All replies 
have to be new messages; there is no way to reply to a message within an 
individual thread with "reply" in the email client unless you hijack the 
digest topic itself.

There's nothing to do for email clients that follow the "Message-ID" in 
that instance, I suppose.
