How do I properly respond to a topic in the Trisquel-devel mailing list?

Hello everyone.
I've never used a mailing list before, especially Trisquel-devel. If someone responds to an email I've sent to name at domain, do I reply directly to the sender, or do I send a new email to the mailing list?
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Please excuse me, I wasn't aware that I'm not allowed to post the address, although no such thing was mentioned in the community guidelines. My bad. I'm not able to edit my original post.
You should simply reply to the email. The "reply-to" field has the mailing list address, so all subscribers will get your answer and the discussion can go on.
Except, of course, if you have configured your email client to behave otherwise.
If I'm understanding this correctly, replying directly to the email (or last response) automatically carbon copies my reply? A direct reply would be all I need to do?
One could indeed think of a mailing list as a sort of automated carbon copy mechanism that sends a copy of any email it receives to all its subscribers.

Yes. If you want to check how the thread actually looks like, you can always visit https://listas.trisquel.info/pipermail/trisquel-devel.
That clears it up. Thanks.
