It depends, I've used digests from other lists that delivered
the mails as embedded messages that you could open individually
and replies then followed the original. I think that requires
MIME encoding in the digest. But I've never tried it on the
tutor list so I don't know if it works here.

And digests are useful if you are on a tariff that limits the
number of messages received because they see the digest as
one message. But OTOH I haven't seen anyone offering message
based access for a quite a few years now.
