Or see if your mailer, like mine, has an option for bursting digests in
place. Bursting is splitting a digest into individual messages so that
you can reply to them individually. (Very few mailers do this, which
is a real shame.  And every one I know of calls this 'bursting'.)
Then please burst your digests before you reply to them.
