I observed that several PLUGgers receiving digested/bundled mails immediately reply to a message as soon as s/he reads something on the message worth posting about. This is so that what we see on the subject line is like "Re: plug Digest, Vol 17, Issue 45", which does not make sense in one viewing.
Can I suggest to digest-mode subscribers replying to a certain message to please edit the subject line so that the thread or topic being initiated is made clear right from the start? Especially for Gmail users, it's kind of weird for them to see threads (err, conversations) like "Re: plug Digest, Vol 17, Issue 45". For example, if you receive a digested mail that contains a message about latest release of Samba, click your reply button (or press R for mutt and/or pine?) and edit the subject line into a subject like "Latest samba release" or "Latest samba release (was: Re: plug Digest, Vol 17, Issue 45)". In this case, you're technically initiating a topic, no longer replying to a message. Also, when quoting digested mails, please care to snip them so that only the subject matter (on the digested mail) you want to respond to is shown. This avoids clutter and takes up less disk space.
