It'd have been breaking things the same way on the *old* list.
Threading is primarly by the "In-reply-To" header line. Which a
digest user can only insert with a bit of hassle.

Yahoo is actively user-hostile these days. Their "improvements" a
months back *broke* a lot of things with no actuall bebefits to
users, just to advertisers.

And the DNARC fiasco of earlier this month is another symptomm.

Yahoo groups and google groups both have decent reasons to be
avoided.
