If your mail cient is MIME aware, you can get your digests in MIME format. 
Then you can read each message as if it were a separate e-mail.

Check your preferences at www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo.

If your mail client can filter messages into folders, you could also stop 
using the digest and filter indivdual messages as they arrive.  The you 
can use threading and other mail cient features on that mailbox.
