Threads don't use just the subject.  If you reply to a message, there
should be a 'in-reply-to' header that gets added by your mail client. 
There is also a 'references' header that lists the other emails in
that thread.  when you reply to the digest, the information needed to
formulate the correct headers isn't there.  You *might* be able to
extract the correct information, but it would be quite tedious, then
you would have to add the correct header information and send your
reply...
