Replying to missed message on mailing list

I missed a message on a sourceware mailing list from yesterday. I.e. I only subscribed to the list today and found a message regarding the same problem I was having that was posted yesterday (through the search function).

Is there any way I can reply to that message, as if I had been subscribed to the mailing list yesterday?

I know there is an In-Reply-To header field for e-mails, but I think I need some sort of message id to use it.

In some mailing lists, you can download the mbox file that corresponds with the email and then import it in mutt by doing -f file. Finally, you can reply all.

Depending on the mailing list, there may be a web interface that lets you reply to a message (e.g. gmane allows this).

If not, there may be a web interface to view the message's ID, which you can then use in the In-Reply-To header.

If not, I doubt there's a way to do what you want.
