[Python-Dev] Slightly OT: Replying to posts (original) (raw)

Just a quick question about the mechanics of replying to this list.

I am a subscriber to the list, however I much prefer readiing the list archives on the web instead of having the postings delivered to my email account. Because of this, I have delivery turned off in the mailing list preferences. I particularly dislike the idea of wasting bandwidth and disk space on something that I am not going to read.

However, I would like to be able to reply to posts in such a way as to have them appear in the appropriate place in the thread hierarchy. Since I don't have the original email, I cannot reply to it directly; instead I have to create a new, non-reply email and send it to the list. Simply editing the subject line to put "Re: subject" would seem to be insufficient.

Does anyone have a trick for managing this? Or is there a FAQ that someone can point me to that addresses this issue?
