How are messages normally sent to the "group"? If done by email,
just have the CGI program send email to the proper address. Make
sure your CGI defines the Reference or In-Reply-To header in replies
to facilitate threading.
As for making the call to the CGI program from the archive, it depends
on what you desire. You can look into the MAILTOURL resource into
customizing the address links in converted message headers. You can
also add an explicit "Reply" button/link utilizing one of the message
page layout resources and associate resource variables.
If you want a detailed example, please follow-up with what exactly
you would want to appear on a message page and how the reader is expected
to invoke the "Reply" function.
