Receive your own posts to the list?


Tony,

Like jt I too have it set to receive my own messages, but I too
don't see them. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that both
of us use gmail to post to the list?

Bingo! Well, I don't know if this happens with the web interface to gmail, but if you use POP to access your gmail account, then any emails you send to any kind of list will not get back to you

Yup, I use Thunderbird to read/process my gmail :-)

(Problem being, sort of, that gmail groups things in "Conversations", and in this case will remember the email you sent out and use that copy in the conversation, instead of the one sent through the list.

Except that part of the conversation sits in my "sent" folder rather
than being nicely threaded into the conversation.

Not a very good excuse in my opinion, and a particularly irritating "feature".).

agreed!

In the rare occasions where my waiting powers get exhausted before someone on this very helpful list replies to my email, I just use the online archives to check whether my email was sent or not.

Yes, I did that initially when I wasn't sure if my message was getting
out. Often thought I don't have to do this because the helpful folks on
this list have already replied to my posting.

Best,
Esmail
