Are they using the message-id ? Simple answer is, I don't know. I send out a message, hypothetically, let's say to the Fedora list (I don't use gmail for this list because of this problem); I use gmail as my MTA; gmail receives the message from me via SMTP and forwards it to the Fedora list. Fedora list receives my message and distributes it to the list, including back to me; when my own message gets back to gmail, it knows somehow, that it's the same message I sent 'through' before, and it doesn't process it; hence, instead of it being forwarded back to me, it disappears... If I were reading my gmail on the web, it wouldn't be an issue because my original sent message would be in the list of messages in my folder. I hate to read my mail that way - I'll drop gmail before I go back to that method. That's me... -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
