Yes. The RULES for responding when you're reading the digest are:

1) COPY THE SUBJECT LINE FROM THE POST YOU'RE RESPONDING TO. 

2) Copy ONLY enough of the email you're responding to so we know WHAT 
you're responding to. Usually a sentence or two is plenty. 

Both of these rules mean that you must do some work! You've got to use 
the editing functions in your email program. You've got to delete a lot 
of stuff that has nothing to do with your reply. And you've got to change 
the subject line. 

FWIW, I read nearly a dozen email lists, and I find individual emails 
MUCH easier to handle. I simply set up my email software to sort my 
incoming email into separate mail boxes for each email list that I read. 
Now it's really easy to delete all the stuff you don't want to be 
bothered with, either before or after you read it.
