As David noted, you only *need* to reply to gnucash-user at gnucash.org. 
The individual's email address is not needed. They'll get the message 
because they are members of the list.

It is imperative to *at least* reply to gnucash-user at gnucash.org so 
everyone on the list will see it. (otherwise, only the individual you 
replied to will see your message)

You can either do this manually, or use the Reply-All button/option in 
your mail program (delete the individual addresses if you like, leaving 
the list address), or

If your mail service has a 'Reply to List' or 'Reply to Group' or 
something similar, use that instead. (better option)

You may have to investigate Yahoo! settings concerning 'newsgroup' or 
'newsletter' or 'mailing lists' options to enable this button if Yahoo! 
is not automatically offering it to you. (or it may not even be an 
option as not all e-mail applications offer it.)

Hitting any Reply, Reply-All or Reply-List button should auto-populate 
the same subject for you. I'd consider it quite odd if it did not. If 
this is the case, simply copy and paste the subject line from the 
message you are replying to.
