How about `C-d' in the summary buffer?

cf. (info "(gnus)Really Various Summary Commands") <- `C-x C-e' here.

How can we improve the manual to make it easier to find it?  How did
you try to search for it?  When doing an index search in the Gnus
manual, it is the third hit:

  <f1> i d m gnus RET
  i digest RET
  , , (comma twice 

It's also at a quite prominent position in the menu: 
<menu-bar> <Article> <Enter digest buffer>

Bye, Reiner.

I did C-h digest <return>. I have just realized that it is the first
item. But I
don't know why I have not noticed that it was what I was looking
for... maybe the
title is too complex.

you are definitely right. I removed the menu-bar. But I switched on at
first,
I think that I didn't understand the purpose of <Enter digest buffer>.
Too lazy to try
it.

Gnus has its own language (article, summary, group, digest, and so on)
that new users don't know yet, so they don't know to search for those
things.

Maybe when gnus-expert is nil or gnus-novice-user is t, there should be
a special message when a digest article is viewed telling the user "this
is a digest article, use the menu bar or C-d etc."

"digest" is in the subject of this thread, so the OP surely was aware
of this term.  ;-)  And "digest" isn't a Gnus specific term.

If someone want to implement this...

how to reply to a digest mail

[francois.lagarde]

Hello,

I subscribed to mailing lists and receive digest mails. What is the
best (easy) way to reply to a message. Mails are sent as mime parts
(rf822).

In a perfect world, I would like to select a mime part, and make reply
as usually.
