"formail" (part of the procmail package) will do this (the command
the digest is fed to is
        formail +1 -ds
).  As far as I know, though, it's only been implemented on UNIX, though
I'd think that part of the code ought to work with anything that has
the capability to spit out a message (the digest) and accept other
messages (the burst results) in a format looking like a mail message.

AFAIK, this requires nothing special about the digest format (other than
it put in at least two of the posters' headers).  It can be "fooled" by
unquoted headers within a message, though (as will most any bursting
algorithm, if you think about it).

Hope that helps,
