Well, besides the aspect of software availablilty, it is a a matter of knowing the message id of the mail to which you want to refer. Then you have to put it into a "In-Reply-To:" header or a "References:" header. The message ids are providently shown in the debian-user archive. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/10/msg00127.html Message-id: <[?] E1iFl97-0002sw-8y@joule.invalid> The string "[?] " is an artifact of copy+paste between web browser and text editor. Your reply's headers should look like: References: <E1iFl97-0002sw-8y@joule.invalid> In-Reply-To: <E1iFl97-0002sw-8y@joule.invalid> "References:" can take multiple ids separated by blanks and optional newlines. Kindof a thread branch history. Like: References: <e1ifyns-0000et...@enotuniq.net> <E1iFjk3-0002Hf-FQ@joule.invalid> "In-Reply-To:" can take only one id. Now it depends on your mail client whether you can talk it into accepting one or both of these header lines, ot the message id so that it composes own reply headers. Have a nice day :) Thomas
