Whether or not your reply is threaded can also be due to the client you
use (if you use an email client). For instance, this reply will be
threaded correctly because I used Thunderbird. However, had I used my
university-approved Groupwise client it would appear as a new thread.

Could you clarify the notion of "simply reply".
There is no obvious reply links in either the archive page, or the
digest.
True. The archive does not expose the message headers. I have not
figured out whether is is even possible to respond to a message on the
Archive. Some people use Gmane or Nabble, but I think most use a
mail-client. Responding to the digest can break threads.
In the case, where someone sends me an email, such have you have done,
I can simply reply.
However, in general this option is not available.
I am wondering why it wouldn't be? This particular message is threaded
with the posting you made a little over an hour ago, whereas some of
your replies in the last few days have been orphaned from the posting
you responded to (as you have noticed). You can look at the threaded
archive here (as I suspect you already know):
