Thanks, but I do not understand how what I did in this case differs from what I always do, except for changing "RE" to "OT". I just hit `Reply All', as usual. Looking at past replies of mine, I see that some of the mails I replied to were addressed to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, and others were addressed to @debbugs.gnu.org - and this within the same thread! Why? Hitting `Reply All' works in both cases, but it did not work when I changed the "RE" to "OT" in the Subject. See, for example, these two messages in the same thread. Notice the cc fields. 1. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8653#26 Uses bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. 2. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8653#29 Uses 8653@debbugs.gnu.org. In both cases I just hit `Reply All' and it worked correctly (did not open a new bug). I do not understand why some messages I receive in a thread have one address and others in the same thread have the other address, but `Reply All' to both kinds seems to work. In the problematic case I did the same thing (`Reply All') and the address was bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, but the behavior was not the same as for #1 just above. What am I missing?
