As you probably know, each email posting has a "unique" Message-ID in the header, and typically this will be available in replies as the In-Reply-To header. Earlier Message-IDs may also be included in the References header. Unfortunately, the system that copies the postings onto http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/ strips these fields from the header, and considers the User-agent a more important line. Is anyone here seriously interested that I post with Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) wheras Urs uses Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.5.0?
