Huh? I used to get the digest, and I had no problems replying to a post. Replace the subject line of the digest with "RE: <The Subject Line Of The Post>," delete all but the post to which you're replying, and then pare it to just the relevant portion. Add your response above or below -- your choice. Easy-peasy. :-)
