In general this is bad practice because it starts a new thread with the
same topic. This is due to the missing In-Reply-To line in the email
header.
After all it's better to avoid replying from the archives even if a
reply link is present.

Last Thursday 24 June 2004 18:26, Marv Smoak was
like:
Yes, KMail does it fine if I'm viewing the message with KMail. But if
I've deleted the message from KMail and go to the archive with the
browser and use the reply link on the archive webpage, the message is
not quoted.
I did some Google'ing and this does appear to be a limitation of the
mailto: link in HTML for any web site; mailto: just can't do that, I
think. (I also noticed that the PlanetCCRMA archive doesn't have a
reply link.) So it appears that cut/paste, manual quote is the only
way. When I'm viewing a message in the archive,
and click on Reply, the
message to which I'm replying is not quoted in the compose-message
screen. I'm sure I can solve this by cut/paste manually. Is
there a way to setup the mail program to generate the quote of the
the replied-to message automatically as when the original message
is in my mailbox? Or is this a limitation of the archive setup?
kmail should do this by default. maybe you have an old version. It
_should_ be obvious in Settings > Configure KMail >> Composer, but
YMwpV ;-)
It's not a function of the list set-up AFAIK.
