What's the advantage? You use an exploder, or you cut and paste (or retype) the subject. One advantage is reduced clutter. Another advantage is reduced mail link build/tear down proportional to the number of items in a digest. A final advantage is that you can handle them in a bunch if you are in a question-answering-mood without breaking up your flow of thought.
