Feature Suggestion: Digest Reply handling

Anyone please correct me if this feature already exists, however I'm wondering if it's already been developed so that if a user reply's to a digest in their box then mailman will extract the relevant post they are replying to and also warn the user. Obviously there are a fair few metric with this, such as which post are they replying to.
So is this already implemented somewhere or should I develop it?
Regards

I probably lack imagination, but if someone, as people do on lists I manage, replies to a digest, doesn't change the subject, top posts and quotes the entire digest, I don't see how you can figure out which individual message is being replied to.

I am unaware of any implementation of anything like this feature.
I suggest, it might be easier to default everyone to the MIME digest and train them all to use MUAs that explode the digest into individual messages they can reply to individually.
