You did fine. You cannot do much better when using the digest option. 
This is also why I dislike that it's an option at all, but that's my 
fault.

That won't work either except for other users using the digest option.

A digest contains multiple emails and therefore the email client cannot 
know which one is actually replied. The `Message-ID`s needed are also 
lost. It would be better if a digest was some kind of MIME-based 
standardized format, but that does not exist. Essentially, digests are a 
broken concept unless it's used for read-only purposes. (End of rant :-) 
).
