[Elecraft] acknowledgement of post test

[Rich NE1EE]

I ran these tests --- have not logged in to see what messages were received, but one person replied to the msg off list, so it got through

originated an email to the list - got my own post back, and got a bounce msg, too, because I asked for both

replied to a post sent to me personally, but in reply to my list post - got the bounce, but not the msg

replied to a post from someone else about a different matter - got the bounce, but not the msg

replied to my own message, in the once case where I received it from the list  - got the bounce, but not the msg


Because this list is different, at least for me, when I reply, I usually don't get elecraft as the addressee, I get others. Sometimes elecraft shows up in the CC place. So my habit now is to "reply all" which captures all the addressees. I then delete the individuals, unless I specifically want to sent there, and replace all the addressees with one address, the elecraft mailman address. That ensures that I am sending back to the list, which is what I want to do most of the time. It seems to work.

As you can see from above, if I originate a message, I get it from the list server, but if I reply, I don't. Does this have summat to do with the way email headers are formed, and what mailman is using to determine the potential list of addressees? So even though I replied, my email address is not attached to a header that mailman uses to determine who gets the replies? If I originate, there are no other email addresses in the headers, so I /have/ to show up in the right header, but if I reply...?
