"Highlight" or "select" the entire single message you want to reply to 
by rolling your cursor over it, leaving all the rest of the full list 
un-highlighted, then hit reply.  You should then see only the message 
you highlighted appear in the body of your reply message, and it should 
appear as a "quotation" just like the message you see below this.  The 
"To" address of your reply will be pct-l@mailman.backcountry.net, but 
you can delete that and only reply directly to the writer of the 
message.  OR you leave the pct-l address just as it is, and then add to 
it the address of the person you are replying to by cutting and pasting 
it into the "To" or "Cc" line.  Also, you should delete the Subject 
line that will appear automatically, and cut and paste in the subject 
line of the message you are replying to.  Of course you can only do 
this if the mail program you use lets you.  I have a Mac and use Mail 
(OS X).  And of course you can only do this if you have at least a 
foggy idea what I just said.

I hope it helps.  And hope your shoulder is mending well.      Regards, 
  Two Legs
