<snip> Hi, Perhaps I am confused. If you have a copy of the post that you want to reply to in any modern e-mail client (desktop or web based), you can just use reply-all. The subject line will be retained, and if not already present, which would be the case for the first post in the thread, the "Re:" prefix will be added. The e-mails of those participating in that particular post will also be retained, as will the list e-mail address. Are you referring to a situation where you no longer have a copy of the post that you want to reply to in your e-mail client, so that you cannot just use reply-all to that specific post? If so, that is a more cumbersome process...
