It seems that Mail.app (and I suspect most “desktop class” clients) can display 
arbitrary headers. This includes the key “Message-Id” and “In-Reply-To”. So as

“Reply-To”) during composition of an new email, one can use it to retroactively 
participate a mailman-hosted thread. (the value to use can be found in the 
mailto: address from the web archive. Too bad Mail.app does’t support this. The 
internet claims Thunderbird can do this:
