	what about replying to a digest, (this email is a reply to a digest)
	is there a way to tell majordomo (or other list managers)
	to use the In-Reply-To in the body header, in its outgoing list?
	Particularly for an account with 'digest' option set.

	I tried Sylpheed's compose external editor, but that couldnt reach the Headers.
	Alternatively, can anyone recommend a client that splits digests,
	maybe in a news style ?

   regards
