You can't. If you want to be able to reply to messages on the list and have the replies get correctly threaded, you need to subscribe to the list in 'individual emails' mode** and reply to the messages from your email client, not your web browser. The archives do not retain the message-id information, so there's no way for your mail client to construct a proper In-Reply-To field. -JAC **Some mail clients have the ability to reply to individual messages contained in a MIME digest if you subscribe in 'MIME digest' mode. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
