Try importing the archived messages:
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-March.txt.gz
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-February.txt.gz
and then try to reply to them in a normal fashion.

They are in mbox format, so Thunderbird should be able to handle them.

Sorry, I didn't understand that you wanted to reply to the pipermail
archived messages.
