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...?
