The problem you're having is caused partially by being unable to manually set headers in many mail clients. If you have a server with Sendmail set up which can send outbound email you might be able to do it that way as well, by copying the message from the web and then sending the whole text instead of just the body. --Andrew smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Hello, Novembre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The problem is that I don't use any mail client, but the old fashion way of using a web browser to log into my account and read my emails. That's why I asked this question in the first place. Call me paranoid, but I just feel more comfortable that way! So to be more specific, how can I answer to a post from a mailing list from within my, e.g., GMail or Yahoo! mailboxes? Is there any way to use the Raw E-Mail output to send an email from within GMail to the OP and the list so that it's threaded properly as well? You need to take the Message-ID header of the message that you're replying to, and put it into the In-Reply-To header of your response. That's what a standard mail client does when you reply to a message. The In-Reply-To header is used by clients and webmailers to identify the thread and the order of messages within that thread. I've never used Gmail or Yahoo, so I don't know if they provide a way to manually set the In-Reply-To header. If they don't you're out of luck, I'm afraid. By the way, I'm in a similar situation: I'm not subscribed to the lists, but I read them with a news client via an NNTP gateway. That gateway is one-way, i.e. I cannot post follow-ups to the news groups. Instead I use the reply-by- mail function of the news client. This works well, because the NNTP gateway sets the Reply-To back to the list's mail address (unless there already was a Reply-To header in the original mail, which is kept), and I configured my news client to copy the Message-ID into an In-Reply-To header, so it works as expected.

If you are reading the mailing lists via the FreeBSD website (http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-questions.html) you can use the Raw E-Mail link of a posting to fetch a copy and incorporate it into your mail client.

There might be a problem sending to your system specifically, in which case you can check and see if your address has been suspended via MailMan: Go here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions and then type in your e-mail address in the very last field on that page, and click 'Unsubscribe or edit options'. On the next page, enter your password (you should get a monthly reminder of what your it is) and click 'login'. You'll be able to verify and modify your subscription status from the page you get to. Sending messages to your e-mail address will be disabled if your bounce score goes above 5.0 or if there are configuration errors with the mail servers you are trying to use. If it's your ISP bouncing the e-mail then get a better ISP.
