Hi!

The reply to button indeed adds only the recipient of the message.  You
want to CC the message to ‘emacs-devel@gnu.org’ too.

These mailing lists are generally handled using email clients (‘MUAs’)
that know how to handle this sort of stuff automatically, so you might
want to try a program like mutt, or Gnus, mu4e, notmuch, or Rmail in
Emacs.

It’s easier to subscribe to a mailing list, redirect mail from it to
some folder, and read and reply from there.

I looked around but couldn’t find any proper introductory material.  But
if you’re interested and nobody comes up with a link to a good intro, I
can walk you through my setup.
