Because it's a mailing list. Threaded conversations. It's not storage
for mail from a single person, but a group. And I'm part of that group.

And I'm pretty sure the google admins have heard of symlinks.

This came back and I don't see that.

I don't. I want to see the whole thread as it is.

And it doesn't look it works that way. I received the post
you replied to here on the list.

If someone doesn't reply, I want to know that. They could be
sick or something. Or the message was inappropriate and I should
note that it was cold-shouldered.

I've figured out a way to use procmail to filter outgoing mail
and append a copy of any mail to the list to my list mailbox
here. If a duplicate shows up I'll just delete it.

This is in my gmail muttrc:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/procmail /home/forrest/.procmailrc-outgoing"

This is the body of .procmailrc-outgoing. It has standard procmail
environment headers:

---------
#If it's to the list, pipe it through formail to format for
#mbox and append to list mailbox
#"c" send a copy to the next recipe

:0 c
* ^To: baslinux@lists\.ibiblio\.org
| formail >> /home/forrest/Mail/baslinux

#pipe the copy (and any other mail) to my utility that sends my
#mail to gmail's MTA

:0
| /usr/bin/msmtp -C /home/forrest/.msmtprc-gmail -t

# anything else, which should be nothing, to my default mailbox
# this could help catch problems 

:0
${DEFAULT}
-----------

Doesn't look like I'll need it, though.
