The other half is that in order to be able to reply to a message you have to be reading that message in a mail program, or in a newsreader. 

Since you (R) are using Thunderbird,  you should either subscribe to the mailing list (NOT in digest mode), or set up a newsgroup in Thunderbird from gmane.comp.python.general.


If you choose the mailing list, you'll probably want to set up a rule in Thunderbird that moves all incoming messages from the inbox to a dedicated folder. Set that folder to show the threaded view, and you should be in good shape.  There's a keystroke that gets you to the next unread message, but all the others are easily accessible.  It interprets those headers mentioned above and groups all the replies together.  And you use the Reply-list button so the message goes to the list and not the individual.
