That looks like Agent was treating it as multipart/mixed (not
recognising multipart/digest as such). I presume the Subject: lines were
visible in the body of each part as viewed?
What I do not understand is why Agent was trying to show it as separate
messages. Did it not offer it as a single message in the first place,
and then invite you to split it into its separate parts? I would see no
problem with that.
But if it shows it as separate messages (without Subject lines) without
being told to, just mixed up with all the other normnal articles in the
group, then I agree there is a problem.
