My original post was a test to see whether I had a global problem which
I didn't. The rest is just a discussion that ensued. ie Off topic by
accident.
One last comment. I use a Debian Linux system with Mozilla's firebird
email client. No insults intended but I stay as far away from Microsoft
as I can.
Yours very opinionated

Actually James, I don't think that is true. I run a group for a

Weeeellll...it may "appear" that way if you are using the web or
mobile GMail email client (which I assume most people on this list
do). GMail/Google does some funny business with Google Groups
integration to make everything seem integrated and would have you
believe that you are in fact receiving a copy of the message (does it
really matter if your response just 'appears' in the right spot,
though?). After a quick Google to confirm my own sanity, it appears
that the GMail clients will automatically thread messages with the
same Message-ID, even if they live in different folders (and in this
instance, it would be my Primary inbox, and my Sent Items).
However, this account is also tied to an MS Outlook instance, and
unless MS is doing something funny with my replies to this group, I
have no copies of this response in my Inbox. I'm not claiming to be an
Outlook wizard, but I don't believe I have any rules set up for this
account, so I doubt Outlook is to blame.
You can also Google around to see others echoing concerns about the
same "odd" behavior that Google Groups uses. Personally I think it is
a passive attempt by Google to encourage you to use GMail, and also
cuts down (marginally) the amount of email they send out. It's
certainly one of the reasons I keep using the web interface and mobile
app over my MS Outlook client.
It may be configurable (perhaps only by the list admin), but I seem to
remember researching this same issue when I first posted to
django-users, and was confused when I didn't see my response come back
(GMail's integration was not as good at the time IIRC). I think I
double-posted for that exact reason.
Perhaps someone else can confirm the behavior I'm describing, or echo
that I'm crazy. I'm good either way.
topic to which others can append comments. For my own group, I
found that setting up categories and forcing the participants to
post by logging into the group works best. But that is a special
case and would be a mess for a large users group.
Not sure why logging in to a group interface would have any effect on
mail routing. I suppose it would be 'easier' to tie together threads
that are posted directly to a forum/thread form than trying to
correlate a random email address with the same subject line. Pure guess.
On a side note, you also mentioned an issue specifically with the
Debian Users list, which this list is not. Other than maybe a "me too"
response, I'm not exactly sure what the intention of the message to
this list was about. I'm sure many of us are on that list as well, though.
