I have to agree with John here.  Depending on the mail agent, to post a new 
message might be as easy for you as it is for me.  Here, using kmail on 
linux, all I have to do to post a new thread message is to click on the lists 
address as its is displayed in the much trimmed header info displayed here.  
The send message editor opens with the lists address already filled in and 
all I have to is fill in the subject line.  Voila, new thread that is not 
connected to the old one being displayed in the read window.
