Most digests are now in MIME format, so replying to a post is easy with
a modern mail client, while preserving threading.

However using digests isn't going to reduce the amount of mail you get.
It's really an obsolete method with little to recommend it any more.
Just subscribe normally and use filters. With IMAP you don't even need
to download the messages you aren't interested in.

It didn't exist until fairly recently, and I find it clunky compared to
mail. YMMV of course.

What message boards? If you mean the mailing lists, then I use a mail
client with IMAP (Evolution in my case).
