My error, I missed it on that message.  I *do* try - since I did get it
right on my other messages.  I forgot this time.

But what is the further intent here - the digest shouldn't exist?  That
one should use it only for reading?  If one shouldn't reply to digests,
it might be possible to write a mail rule to automatically clear the
"new message" flag on any incoming e-mail that is from a mailing list; I
personally dislike getting "new message" notifications every minute or two.
