You mean you are clicking the bottom links provided by the mailing list
archive? Why? Aren't you getting the messages through your Gmail account
or a news reader? I will be a more pleasant method for you...

Ugh... that's very annoying.
If you want to keep that system (which I do not recommend) you better
include the content of the e-mail you are replying to because the way you
are doing now is breaking the threads and your messages reach the list
with no references at all so people who reads them knows nothing about
who or what you are replying.

I'm afraid it does not.

That's probably because of the way you are posting to the mailing list.
