It turns out, there *is* actually a way to do this in MailMate, I’ve
found: the All Messages folder has an All Message Subparts sub-folder,
in which each individual message from a digest appears. This seems to be
a ‘special’ folder (in that I can’t see any setting in the Edit
Mailbox view that makes it work like this, or a way to set up one of
these in the Mailing Lists smart folder, for example), but it works —
I can select an individual message and reply to it (like I am with this
one!).
So either Benny implemented it and forgot about it :-), or it came for
free as part of another feature. Either way, it works for me!
