It seems so, make sure you're replying to the list's address (here:
"debian-user@lists.debian.org"). It's usually not neccessary to reply

one should not send a CC to the original poster unless he requested
it.

You could use a usb drive or a SD card with a keyfile on it with
dm-crypt/LUKS. Maybe you want to read [3] which is a quiet good howto
for dm-crypt.
