If you received the email in your inbox, simply click the reply button
and let your email client use the same subject and automatically decide
to add a "Re:".

If you were not receiving email from the mailing list, but wish to reply
to an email you did not receive, go to the official mailing list archive:

https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2020-June/042994.html

Where it says the sender:  Nenad Lamza nenad.lamza at sk.t-com.hr

You can click on that, it's an email link sending you to

mailto:pyqt at riverbankcomputing.com?Subject=Re: How to reply to
posts&In-Reply-To=<4876b7de-b9f5-63c1-47c5-7fc9b7878522 at sk.t-com.hr>

If you're using a decent mail program, it will open up an email draft
with the correct Subject, To, and In-Reply-To email headers.

So all you need to do is write your email and trust it gets sent to the
right place.

That sounds like a question which you need to ask to the nabble.com
administrators, not the PyQt administrators.

Digest is a rather awkward mechanism. I guess you could use the mailto
link I mentioned above, from the OFFICIAL website, and simply copy-paste
the message you're replying to. For example using Thunderbird's Paste As
Quotation menu option.
