I only want to burst individual messages, that I'm responding/replying to. % That's why I'm hoping for a mutt solution, as opposed to formail/procmail one. Right. But speaking of procmail... Why not just get the regular messages and procmail them off to a list folder? OK... Back to your question, since you insist on doing it your way... Since you'd be wildly making up M-IDs and your threading would be shot, you might as well use the M-ID of the digest, so you'd probably be closest with turning on edit_hdrs and then using a macro/function/* in your editor to, once you've zipped down to the right message, delete the content above and below it and transfer the address into the to: field and then actually reply.
