Zach, Yes, from the way it looks it does seem like a step back. I should have been a little bit clearer about how I handle my e-mail pertaining to the list. The way I have the filter set up is to add a label to any e-mail that comes from gmail-users but also leave it in the inbox. I usually delete most of the messages I get from gmail-users after reading or replying to them except for ones I find informative. Those I just click on the Archive button which removes the inbox label and leaves it in the label. Because my gmail-users label is really only for messages that I consider informative that I want to keep I do not want to clutter it with my sent messages. If I want to see those I will go look in the Sent Mail label. If I want to find an old message from the gmail-users group I go to the Groups web interface and search there.
Hope this clarifies a little bit the way I handle the list mail. Thanks again for everyone's help.
