I use a digest reader along with Eudora Lite to separate & reply to
individual messages. The digest reader is freeware (and appropriately
enough, called DIgest Reader) and can be found by going to shareware.com
and searching for: dr_189f.zip

It has a command in the Edit menu to "Quote to Clipboard" which cuts the
particular post to the clipboard (duh :-)). You can then paste it into a
new email message, and viola, you're ready to reply to the individual
message. I've been using this program for about two years now and it works
fine. You have to save the digests to a separate file from within your
email program, though, for the digest reader to read them.

If you have any questions feel free to email me privately,
