Hi again Mable Syrup!

 I was also having this issue (due to pure infamiliarity with mailing lists)
back when I started posting here, please read this from the (main) archive:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-March/001193.html

and this thread:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-April/001240.html

 If you are properly subscribed to the list and you want to reply to a
particular mail already inside your inbox, then do just that - if your
mail client is not broken, it should properly handle the Reply-to header
and maintain the threading - be sure to click the "Reply All" button, so
that all the list members get your post, not only the sender of the mail
you are replying to... (this issue was recently discussed in the list, may 
or
may not be particular to this list and may depend on the mail client 
used...).

 I'm afraid I'm not an expert in this field, others truely knowledgeable
are free to chime in for corrections/additions!

Many regards!
Vangelis.
