Yes.  Most Emacs-based MUAs (all the ones I've used, which is about
6), including even the horrible old RMail, can do this.  Mutt and
IIRC Alpine can too.

There's also an older format (RFC 974, I believe).  The Emacs-based
MUAs can folderize such digests, too, or "explode" them into
individual messages and add them to a folder (usually just the current
folder).
