OK, sorry, sorry. My disappointment is with http://lists.debian.org/ ;
not with your answer. I've added this section.
"http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#MessageThreadingandReplyingtoaQuestion";
The preceeding sub-section, "How to continue a discussion", is inadequate.
Some archived messages have links under the heading "References".
In some cases there is more than one "layer" of reference. Presumeably
the list software traces back recursively. Also there are "Follow-ups".
A retroactive edit must occur to make one of these. Any additional
ideas?
If there are any comments or suggestions I am happy to continue work
on the wiki page. Anyone who is registered can edit the page of course.
Regards, ... Peter E.
