Sorry, I rarely use gmail web UI, in my case "mailto:" links are handled 
by thunderbird. If the browser app is the only mail user agent available 
on your chromebook and it can not handle In-Reply-To link parameter then 
it is sour. Since you mentioned groups.google.com, does it set proper 
headers when reply to particular message is sent using this service? 
However it looks like a kind vendor lock to their own mail list archive 
due to unsatisfactory support of primary external archives.
