Well, that may depend on how you access your mail at Gmail, and it has
changed over time.  ;-)

I use the Thunderbird email client.  I download my mail to it from
Gmail, read it there, compose emails, and send them off.  I get list
copies of my own posts to LUG sent to me.  This is all free, by the way.

If I look at the LUG posts on the Gmail web server, I see both the email
I sent to the list AND the list copy in recent posts.

This used to be different, the list copy didn't used to turn up in our
Gmail accounts, but that changed some time ago.

You can tell which is the sent copy and which is the list copy - the
sent copy doesn't have the footers added by the LUG server.  The list
copy has a "reply-to" line in the short headers (seen when you click on
Show Details on the web server) and a "mailing list" line as well.
There are other differences, but those should be sufficient.

Not all mailing lists are the same.  The Rootsweb lists use a different
program, and you don't see the list copy in Gmail.  If you have any
doubts if your email reached its destination and was processed properly,
you can check the list's archive.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy
