To put a button next to each message in the archives (labeled 'get'?) that when clicked causes MM to send that message to the logged in archive user as an email just as if it had been sent to them in non-digest mode?

This would be a good way for people who have 'no-mail' or 'digest' set to reply occasionally to specific posts. And also to reply to a message the user has already deleted locally.

It would be really nice if this could also somehow work to enable non-subscribers browsing the archives to reply to specific posts (as I am doing now). I've no idea how this could be done though.

The mailto: link in the archived messages includes a message-id, which I assume is to enable threading to work properly when that message is replied to. Unfortunately it contains the message-id of the previous message, ie the one the message being read is in reply to, so this can't work. It appears to be intended to be used as the In-Reply-To header for the new message, which would be incorrect, unless I have misunderstood the reason for it being there (which is quite likely).
