If you're subscribed from the digest, when replying, do not quote the
whole digest, instead cut off the parts that is necessary and relevant
to the current thread. If you're creating a new thread, usually you'd
not quote at all.

I do not know about Thunderbird, but I am using Evolution, and although
I am subscribed to the digest, I can get the "regular listing" on the
thread I'm following by replying in this way:
1. Make sure the Subject line matches the thread (and add RE: if
necessary)
2. In the To: Field, insert tutor at python.org
3. In the CC line, insert the email of original poster, and people who
has followed the thread (usually in the To and CC field of the email you
are replying to).

Evolution (possibly Thunderbird too) would group related emails
(although its detection is a bit weak and reserved).
