-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes well, I am using thunderbird and my mail is stored on a remote server on my lan, so I can check my mail from any machine in my house. So yes, I am using Google Apps to host my e-mail, it's convenient for me and meets me needs and requirements. But the question remains, is there an options for my to enable to be sent a copy of my own posts to the lists(s) that I belong to, as a verification *and* for Thunderbird to properly sort the conversation. TB does infact differenciate somethings, like when a threads *was* infact hijacked, but after the user got his answer. I can then sort just that part and isolate it. But because TB doesn't know where I posted first, it lumps then all together and things jump around.
