Well now I have an idea.
Junk the "mailto:"; idea , it does not appear to apply the correct
"In-Reply-To" and "References" headers anyway. So the threading will be up the
spout, which is the original problem.
The "Reply List" button could just link to a mail form on the website hosting
the list (i.e. nothing to do with mail-archive.com) which could then choose to
send mail to its own list.
I have not looked in detail but it it probably not possible to customize ones
pages in this degree of detail, i.e. add a button. But maybe an idea?

We don't want to post back to lists via the archive@mail-archive.com address.
Spamming would be too easy and many lists want to have controlled
subscriber/poster lists. We like the fact that no mail heads outbound from our
server.

Can't they? The archive is subscribed to the list. So the archive would be
able to send messages to the list on behalf of the user, wouldn't it?
I never thought of that. But as a list owner, I'm not sure I'd want people
being able to send messages to the list that way. It would defeat the
subscription mechanism, and allow anyone (including spammers) to send
anonymous messages.
