Unfortunately as much as I want to support Google and put a little
competitive squeeze on Microsoft, I continually find that Google's
offerings always seem a little "green" and in need of some
feature-maturing on Googles part... while MS may be the bad-guy in many
person's view, the fact of the matter is - their offerings are generally
well tailored and sensible (Windows Vista totally aside - ass-backwards,
ridiculous OS... ahem...) so their OS may crash, but when it does work,
it works damn well....

Thanks to help from the list admin, I have figured out
why I stopped
seeing my own posts to the list!
Seems that gmail, in the their infinite wisdom, decided that it would
be best for me if my own messages were shunted directly to 'archive'
and never appear in the incoming folder. There is no control or
option that I can find to turn this "feature" off. Subsequently, I've
had to change my list subscription to use my ISP's mail service and
all is well again.
Talk about obnoxious! I'm starting to wonder if gmail isn't more
trouble than it's worth. On the good side: It's free and their spam
filtering is very effective. On the bad side: They silently drop
most binary attachments, both coming and going, with no consistent
policy involved that I've been able to determine. And now, this.
