If you are using gmail web UI and replying to a message from a mailbox
then it should work, just use a proper button so send response to the
mailing list, not a personal mail.
If you are using gmail web UI and trying to jump into a thread from an
archive page, e.g.
<https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/CAEctfJLqBi-dn21cjcxH=tXf8EBwg9x+QYEjR=htzqd86yy...@mail.gmail.com>
then "reply to list" links would not work. Gmail ignores In-Reply-To
query parameter of the link. Most of desktop mail clients should respect it.
Perhaps https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.user is a better
alternative for web UI, but I have not tried it.
When replying from inbox, Gmail resets In-Reply-To and References
threading headers when users edit subject field.
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 ?
My impression is that it is impossible in gmail web UI.
Be careful with setting In-Reply-To and References from Thunderbird.
There is a bug in the 115 ESR version. If you desperately need it then
save a draft message to a file, edit the file, open edited file from
Thunderbird.
