The problem is that many readers get the

This is rather easy, and incumbent on the digest users.
1. In your list preferences, "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?" needs to be set
to MIME.
2. In the digest now you will have a link to click on as a reply. The format
of this link will be:
mailto:44net@hamradio.ucsd.edu?Subject=SOME-SUBJECT&In-Reply-To=MESSAGE-ID
The &In-Reply-To= will set the message ID that you're responding to.
You can also do this from the archives
http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/private/44net/2017-September/008193.html
To reply to the thread, click on the "w6rz at comcast.net" link and it will
work just the same. You will need to copy and past as a quote the relevant
parts of the thread.
I moderate such a list myself, and I have found
out that it's difficult for the moderator or list owner to add such info.
If someone wishes to make their life easier, they damn well better not make
mine harder.
I've subscribed to the 44net list as a digest to verify this. One thing of
note is the MIME option is not enabled by default, and this should be.
