Sorry, I am not in a position to test. The only digest I subscribe to is
comp.risks. The only messsage id in that is a single one for the whole
digest. Each article only has date, subject and from headers. You would
need to look inside a Python digest to see if it carries more headers
for the articles. If they are not present then they cannot be used when
composing a reply.
