To reply to a list email, just reply as you would to any other email.

The .top succeeded in minimizing the solvated structure, so that's a
good start. I think I can see that I was being too subtle for you
earlier with my suggestion that you think about observables that would
tell you whether your topology was working. Have you looked at the
before- and after-minimization structures to see whether they make sense
according to your training at recognizing chemical structures that will
be energy minima? If all of your components look reasonable
post-minimization on their own, and there were no significant warnings
or errors from grompp then your topologies probably are OK too. Then you
should go back and approach your original problem of getting a working
topology for your combination system.
