Open the [...] below and you can split and type underneath quoted parts. That said, mailing lists are ancient and in my opinion a horrible way of doing things. I've had my fair share of issues to sign up initially, there's a weird etiquette of how you have to structure your replies, and most importantly you have to remind yourself every time to press "reply all". There are also issues with messages ending up in junk-mail or caught by spam-filters, and you heavily depend on your mail client to properly group messages so you can actually digest them in a conversational form. Email is also lacking edit buttons and integrated code blocks like we're used to with github (or markdown in general). I don't know how other projects deal with this though.
