Majordomo does no such thing from what I can tell. I claim this is a
mail user agent thing that splits the digests. Actually, majordomo
leaves the original subject lines for the digested messages in the
digest.

Again, it doesn't even look like the users digest splitting code is
preserving the original subjects. If it was, then one option may be to
turn on the subject_prefix argument. This would at least have all of
the split digests present with a unique tag at the front of the
subject lines, but as I said, it doesn't look like his undigester
would allow even that.
Am I off the mark here, or does this look like a MUA problem that
can't be handled at any higher level?
