Guys, I don’t believe it. I think I’ve just fixed this. The problem was local, as guys from rwp originally surmised. I went intoApple Mail/Preferences/E-mail Accounts. I looked at my iCloud account and looked at mailbox behaviors. It turned out that the address for that account was shown as kevj...@me.com. I clicked on it and was able to change it to kevj...@icloud.com.
As a test, I sent this note to the RWP list as a reply to an existing message. I noticed that, as never before, replying to a message from r...@groups.io now shows the sender address as kevj...@icloud.com and not kevj...@me.com as before. when I hit Send, the message was sent and appeared in my inbox because I receive all messages from this list. Problem solved! Thanks again for all the patience and help. I apologize for all the traffic and clutter.
