The whole problem is that I have not received ANY mail in response to my original post. Because my original post included my return email address I expected the responses would be mailed to me. When none arrived by the end of the day I checked the web page:
lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/threads.html and found replies had been posted. I check to see if my ISPs spam filter was overzealously quarantining the replies. It was not. With no mail message to reply to I proceeded to interact via the web page with the obvious problematic results. As an aside, the OS X mail client does behave as described I the quoted passage, but this only affects the display and organization of messages in the client’s mail folders. To the best of my knowledge it does not affect the functionality of the normal reply-to mechanics nor is it the cause of my difficulties with interacting with the mailing list, but I could be wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
