True. The archive does not expose the message headers. I have not  
figured out whether is is even possible to respond to a message on the  
Archive. Some people use Gmane or Nabble, but I think most use a mail- 
client. Responding to the digest can break threads.

I am wondering why it wouldn't be? This particular message is threaded  
with the posting you made a little over an hour ago, whereas some of  
your replies in the last few days have been orphaned from the posting  
you responded to (as you have noticed). You can look at the threaded  
archive here (as I suspect you already know):
