Here's what I'm imagining:

- When replying to a message, preserve the message subject *and* all of the individual message references so that replying to messages from the HTML digests doesn't break threading - basically so it looks as if it was replied to individually and separately, not from the list digest.
Current Mailman MIME format digests do this if the user's MUA supports it.
Apparently Yahoo's doesn't preserve the message header/references (bad), but it does preserve the subject.
Also - I use Thunderbird, and when I click Yahoos 'Reply to Group', it does 2 things wrong, but I don't know if MM could do anything about this or if it would be a Thunderbird issue:
- it uses the email clients 'default account' instead of the account the user is in - so, if you just type something and click 'Send', it is sent from the wrong account and will bounce since the email address for that account is not a list/group member, and
This is a TBird issue.
- Thunderbird's new 'Quote only selected text' doesn't work - in fact, *nothing* is quoted. This issue is not as big as the first one, since it can be worked around by simply copying the highlighted text (more often than not I select text to quote rather than quoting the whole thing) then 'pasting as quote'. Two more steps - not that big a deal, but hey, if it can be coded to use the Clients features, all the better.
Works for me with Tbird 3.0.1 and Mailman MIME digests and "Reply" or "Reply All". "Reply List" is not offerred for a reply to a message from the MIME digest, because there is no List-Post: header in the individual message parts
