> Can you point me to trimming guidelines for digest readers?

In brief: Don't respond at all to a digest message.

Instead, respond to the actual message you want to respond to; that way,
your response will include correct fields in the header to preserve the
thread of discussion.

So, treat the digest message as a one-way channel. If you think you
might ever respond, turn off digest mode and respond to individual
messages.
