I don't use the digest, I have a filter in Thunderbird to put all r-help 
(and r-devel) messages into their own folder.  There they can be 
threaded, or displayed in chronological order, or by author, or whatever.

I believe some mail clients have a method of splitting a digest into 
separate messages; you might want to use that.
