Anyway, I just checked the settings for my account and this option was already
set to 'Yes'. I tell you I have this problem with almost any mailing list
(most of which are MailMan anyway) and it's not about the mailing list
software; it's solely about GMail system.

The problem's definitely with GMail -- I nearly went nuts  a few days ago trying to test my new mail setup by sending messages to myself and wondering why they weren't arriving even though the smtp seemed to work.  They were just going to a black hole somewhere, where GMail puts all mail where you yourself are the sender.

And yes, I'm new to the list, but not to Source Mage, so hello everyone.  I sent a mail to the list the other day, but as a result of several recursively acting snafus (including the one above) I don't know if it ever arrived.

Anyway, just to clear that up -- it is GMail.

Stephen.
