It's not hard to reply to a digest - it's just requires some thought and
a little editing.
It's certainly no excuse to clutter the list with useless subject and
irrelevant content.

Copy the post title into the subject line of the reply
If the it's not already prefaced with "Re: " make it so
Edit the date, posters email and the formatting information.
It's hard to follow lazy replies to digest posts. If the person wishing
to post finds that "too hard" they've no right to expect others to carry
the weight.
I did use a script and Tonequilla to automatically re-edit replies to
digest posts (another list) - but the complexities of dealing with
bastardised subject lines by people forking threads exceeded the ten
minutes I'm prepared to spend on a script.
