Simple.
If you intend responding to a mailing list, ever, don't use daily 
digest, but have subsription per-message and create a mailing list 
filter in your mail client, that filter incoming mails and put all 
messages from the list into one mail. folder.

That allows you not only to respond to individual messages and see 
threaded topics, but also does not break threaded view for all other 
list users. (When you simply hit "reply".

I usally filter by 'List-Id' in Thunderbird, but I see that Evolution 
client you use can filter by 'X-BeenThere' header.

So use normal subscription if you want to respond and just always hit 
"reply" when responding/replying on the list.

Responding to a digested mails so that they stay in-line with threads, 
depends on mail client capability, so it is safe not to use digested 
mailing lists, when needing to reply to the list from the same 
subscribed mail address.
