I know of two 100% sure ways to do this, and one possible way. 1. Use the web-based interface. My sent emails on this list show up in the thread where they belong. I know, I know. :) 2. Use IMAP and utilize gmail's labels. For instance, I have a filter set up to apply the "gentoo" label to anything on this list and skip the inbox. In Thunderbird, the "gentoo" label shows up as a folder under my gmail account. All new messages from the list show up there, and my sent mail does as well. When I click that folder in Thunderbird, I can see the threaded view of all messages on this list -- including my own. 3. If IMAP is not an option and you must use POP, perhaps you can set up a filter on gmail to move your sent mail to the inbox, or set up your e-mail client to BCC yourself on every sent message. > On the spam thing, I use POP access so I don't want any spam filtering. > I do that on my end plus I used to get a LOT of false positives.

Set up a filter to catch all of your e-mail and use the "Never send it to Spam" option. I am on mailing lists that deal with spam and phishing, probably the majority of the messages would go to spam without that feature. On the web interface, it even puts a little note next to the message that says something to the effect of "Gmail thinks this is spam, but because of your filter we've allowed it anyway". Good luck :) Paul
