I don't know what mail client or operating system you use, but if you
are using *nix, then you might find the formail command useful with
digested messages.

man formail

For example, under mutt, I can do the following in the command prompt
when the digest file is selected in my inbox: 

	:formail +1 -ds >> mailbox

this will un-digest the message from a single one, to multiple, of which you
can reply to each individually as opposed to changing any of the
subject headers, and inadvertently breaking any message threads.

Hope that helps,
