     This may have nothing to do with your missing message 
but this list is set up so that when hitting the "Reply" 
button the message goes only to the person originating it. 
When clicking "Reply All" it goes both to the originator 
_and_ the list.  The To: field must be edited if a reply is 
to go only to the list.  I am a member of lists set up both 
ways and there are staunch defenders of both systems, the 
problem with it is that the sender may _think_ the reply is 
going to the list when it isn't and also some valuable 
replies will not appear in the archives.  I think the 
archiving of messages with some sort of search arrangement 
is one of the most valuable features of a mailing list.  I 
will not argue either system as superior but mean only to 
alert all to be careful about how you send a reply.
