Help on using linux-btrfs mailing list please

[Jesse]

I have subscribed successfully and am able to post successfully and
eventually view the post on spinics.net when it becomes available:
eg: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg66605.html

However I do not know how to reply to messages, especially my own to
add more information, such as a call trace.
1. I do not receive an email of my post for which I could reply
2. The emails that I do receive from the list are from the respective
sender, and not the vger.kernel.org, as such I do not even know how to
reply to someone in a way that it ends up on the mailing list and not
directly to that person.

Could someone please be so kind as to direct me to a good guide for
using this mailing list?

Thanks

Jesse

You should reply both to linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org and the person
whom you talk to.

Ok thanks Ivan.

So I guess that means when I initiate a post, I also need to send it
to myself as well as the mail list.
Does it make any difference where I put respective addresses, eg: TO: CC: BCC:

Regards

You need to do it in the reply only, not in the initial post.

You need to put a person to whom you reply in "TO" field and mailing
list in "CC" field.

Thanks Ivan.
What about when initiating a post, do I do the same eg:
TO: myself
CC: mailing list

or do I
TO: mailing list
CC: myself

TIA

When initiating a post you should to specify "TO: mailing list" only,
without any other addresses. At least I used to initiate posts in such
way.

If your mail client doesn't have "sent" folder, you can, of course,
follow one of these examples. But I didn't face with such situation
ever.

Any mail client I know (but I haven't looked at many...) can do all of this
by "Reply All" (a button by that name in Thunderbird, 'g' in mutt, ...).

It's worth noting that vger lists have rules different to those in most of
Free Software communities: on vger, you're supposed to send copies to
everyone -- pretty much everywhere else you are expected to send to the list
only.  This is done by "Reply List" (in Thunderbird, 'L' in mutt, ...).
Such lists do add a set of "List-*:" headers that help the client.
