Hello all, As you all gmail users on the list are aware, you can't receive your own posts through the list if you post using gmail (web interface or smtp), because gmail siletly drops them as being identical (though they're not) to the sent mail. To me it is very annoying if I don't see my own posts in a thread, so I looked for a workaround to gmail's stupidity. Until now I have two solutions:
1. Configure your MUA to save outgoing mail to same folder instead of 'Sent'. This is currently supported by most (all?) decent MUA. There is a minor disadvantage (to me) that you don't know when your post was actually sent by the list and you might get to wonder why nobody answers. As we all know, on d-u these delays can sometimes be quite significant. 2. Use a different smtp server for sending, with rewritten 'From:'. This is my preferred solution. In most MUAs, the 'From:' is very easy to setup. Disadvantage: it works only if you have access to a smtp server. Some ISPs won't relay your mail if you're not in the same network (and don't implement SMTP AUTH as an alternative). If you know of a different solution please advise. I've seen a lot of gmail users on the list who might benefit from this. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
