That's bizarre (and stupid). Are you sure? Anyway, I've yet to
receive a single mail from myself to the list at gmail. Not in
the "spam" or "trash" folders either.

They make it to others on the list and the archives, but not
here, though I get everyone else's posts to the list.

Sindi,

That's probably worth a try as a last resort.

Could be. Might be the ibiblio listserver too. I did try to
subscribe from two other accounts, yahoo and simple.net, using
the same real name. Could have confused its filters.

Yeh. But I haven't. Unless I go to the archives.

Sindi suggested having gmail forward the list mail
to my simple.net account. Might work.

It really screws up the threading having my posts missing
from the list mail, and makes double-checking what I posted
a hassle, a hassle that listservers were created to eliminate!

I suppose I _could_ write a script that edited and inserted my posts 
to the list in my list mailbox...

Procmail would make it simple enough.

That's libc5?

Thanks, Steven.

This is trying again.
