Hm, I wonder why anyone is going to the lengths of replying to digest
messages rather than just subscribing to the list ...

Here or anywhere else, indeed. I´m seeing badly designed followups way
too often. Some people don´t even use quote marks so that it becomes
indistinguishable who says what or what someone is refering to. I wish
there was a way to automatically detect such followups to automatically
lower their scores and have them not displayed anymore.

Do you know of a good reference that teaches people how to post I could
point to in my signature?

So they don't need to get hundreds of separate messages?! Most people don't treat a digest as separate from a list, just an alternate subscription format.

It's incumbent on those who own the technology to evolve digests so it's easier to reply to individual posts, not on readers to jump through hoops to reply.

Test reply from link in archive at:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/msg01787.html

I want to see if the reply ends up in the thread properly, I think it
should as the html link from the online archive is this:

Indeed, but it depends on the hability of the program handling mailto:
links in understanding that link and appropriately adding the
In-Reply-To header specified.
