So the solution to this entire 3 day discourse is:
open a brand new email, put in the
address of the list (cut/paste, addressbook, or just
plain old typing) and send the mail. The readers
then see it as an independent item, and it starts
its own new thread.

Subject: Re: A modest request
This request is easy enough to explain:
When you want to start a thread/conversation/discussion,
don't try to "save time" by taking an old email and
clicking on "reply".
Doing so copies all the hidden headers of the old email into
your new one, and causes some software to assume you are
really replying to that conversation.
Instead, open a brand new email, put in the
address of the list (cut/paste, addressbook, or just
plain old typing) and send the mail. The readers
then see it as an independent item, and it starts
its own new thread.
