That's correct, David. I may be reading the posts on the mail-archive.com/elecraft site, from where I can also respond (copying/pasting the subject line after clicking on the link behind "Post:", over the threaded view and the buttons. That will open an Outlook Send Message window.
Or I receive a copy sent to my email address, then I can respond through Outlook. Both ways appear to position my post correctly in the thread, under the relevant post and indented. Like this one (I hope-but I cannot find your post in the thread right now...)

Actually, he isn't using an email program at all. He seems to be reading it on a third party web archive. Such archives are either intended to be read-only (after all, they are only there to attract you to the advertising), or there will be a method of replying specific to the archive. They are not the reflector, but something that captures the output of the reflector. Replying properly to anything on such an archive, using an email program is actually technically rather difficult, as most modern email programs do not allow you to manually set the In-Reply-To header, which is needed for the threading, shown in the image, to work properly. The screen shot also doesn't show the Message-ID header, whose value you would have to copy into the In-Reply-To header. The only hope would be if the archive itself provides an email reply option, where they actually originate the email, which is what I believe another third party archive, Nabble, does. You would have to ask the people running the current archive whether they provide that service. Another reply also seems to be confusing an archive with the actual reflector. The reflector is just a bit of software that re-broadcasts the email to everyone on the list. Incidentally, JPG is not a good format for most screen shots. PNG is a much better choice. -- David Woolley Registered owner of K2 06123 iain macdonnell - N6ML wrote: > > Typically you would just use the "Reply" button in your email client > when viewing the message, and the necessary headers would be included > to link to the existing thread .... but it looks like you are using > Microsoft Outlook, so logic may not prevail ;) > On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 6:20 PM, Arno Dienhart <a...@broadweave.net> wrote: >> I am sure it is super easy, but I seem to be blind to the solution. >> How can I reply on the reflector to a specific post within a thread? >> >> >> >> I am in the mail-archive.com/elecraft. site, looking at a post, >> seeing the threaded view of all the other posts.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
