Hi there Joe,
see my slight answer in context.

Hello,
HiJoe and welcome, this is a fine question.
IF i see a thread i want to jump into to help out how can i be part of
the conversation? as of right now i'm just putting the debian-user
list email and the RE with the subject and replying that way.
Honestly, and speaking personally, like many conversations, it depends on
how you are joining in as it were.
for example, I read all the list posts in my inbox. therefore, for this
message, I chose reply, put something at the start so you knew what I was
doing, and placed my answer under yours. Much as if we were actually
engaged in a conversation. does that resonate?
I noticed on the list there is a message id. is it possible to copy
the message id to the email so the chain just keeps going ?
I personally cannot speak to that idea. I read using my email client,
pine for me, and place that in context. Speaking personally, keeping the
subject line clear is helpful. That also means changing that subject line
if you are really starting a new idea so to speak.
If you are reading somewhere else, perhaps others reading in the same
fashion will offer ideas.
Hope this gives you a helpful way to share your perspective though!
Best,
Karen
