If you look at your subscription options:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor


you have an option to receive a digest containing many posts in a single email, or to receive individual emails. If you are going to reply to messages, please pick individual emails. Then when you wish to respond to one email, you hit "Reply To List" (if your email program has that option) or "Reply All" (if it doesn't), edit your reply, and send.

If you are planning to be busy or away, and still wish to receive the emails, but not reply to them, some people like to go onto digest mode. I've tried that, and would not bother.
