it may seem 'bizarre' but it doesnt seem stupid to me... it keeps from
redundancy... why have the same email in both the sent mail and inbox?
also gmail wont say your name but show you as 'me' when a reply comes
back...

or.. lets say i sent an email to this list ment for lets say, sindi...
until she or someone else replys to it the only place it will be is in
'sent mail' then when i get a reply i will have a new message in my
inbox saying it was from "me, sindi" (and/or whoever else replied)...
the original email will show but -only- after someone replies and it
will be 'collapsed' under the new message (click the subject of it and
it will pop out) and will only show as being from "me"...  not my
name...

yes its a bit odd... but i like it *shrugs*
