Their writing behavior is linked to their reading behavior.  As  
Robert D. said, unless they are subscribed to the non-digest version,  
and reply to the entry, the threading will not work, and they'll  
start a new topic, disrupting everyone's reading flow.  There's no  
way to reply to the correct message without being subscribed to a  
version of the mailing list that gives them that message in an  
individual e-mail.
