In this case I'm using Mailman, which supports both RFC 1152 and
MIME digests in addition to single mail delivery via a click of a

Digest replies tend to:
-- Break References/In-Reply-To header chains
-- Munge Subject lines
-- Over quote
-- Put new text on top of quote (I flatly diassalow this)
-- Reply to multiple messages in a single reply
-- Knot archived threads (on the web)
