Sorry for this rather dumb question, but how do I reply to messages in
mythtv-users Archives?

If I click on View by: [Thread] (e.g. for March 2005), then click on a
subject heading, I can read the message. Then, if I click on the
sender's name, the link points to
mailto:mythtv-users%40mythtv.org?Subject=%5Bmythtv-users%5D%20Sound%20woes&In-Reply-To=1109031788.3044.14.camel%40lathe.slh.lan



This opens up a Compose message window in Thunderbird, and the subject field is filled in automatically. I can also copy and "Paste as quotation" the message I am replying to.

But the problem is that after I send my reply, it is not shown as a
reply to the original in mythtv-users Archives! I guess it is something
about the In-Reply-To field, so how do I get Thunderbird to use it?

Thanks heaps :)


Try just clicking the "Reply" button on the button bar, not the link
in the message header. Thunderbird should handle the reply correctly,
it's pretty good at that.


The problem is when I want to reply to a message that I have not
received in my Inbox. When browsing the list at
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-March/thread.html the only
way to reply to a message is to click on the sender's name. When I click on the link, it opens up a Compose message window in Thunderbird with the subject field automatically filled in ...


You're not really replying to the message in that case. The online archive doesn't work that way for replies. If you want your reply to be threaded properly, subscribe to the mailing list and reply from your inbox using your mail client.
