My opinion is that the mutt-users-digest is not set up very well. I am also
subscribed to the debian-user-list via digest and your you receive the
complete header for each mail in the digest.
The way the mutt-digest is working now I am not possible to write to you in
the correct way because the Message-ID and the reference-header is missing.

So a digest is an alternative way to get the emails from one mailing list in
one file at the end of a day ... but the mutt-digest is only a summary ...

so I think the digest should be added with all the email-header you need to
do a reply or even a list-reply.
I think this is simply an error in the digest-mode - so if not I have to
resubscribe to the normal traffic list again.
But thanx anyway
