That should be the default behaviour when you click on "reply to list". Do not make major changes to the subject. "Reply to list" automatically puts your reply into that messages thread. Or should, if not I'd call it badly bent if not broken. This should apply to the message and thread you are viewing, independently of having the OP thread starter still in the read-mail category and available on you machine. I haven't used t-bird recently enough to remember all the details, and my memory is suffering from 81 years of bit-rot, but I have 3 reply icons on the top bar of this TDE version of kmail, one for Reply to:, one for Reply to all:, and one for Reply-to-mailing-list:. They change the To: line, and you can even setup separate sigs, but I've not felt I needed to in 18 years of a linux only house. Thanks Groach.
