I found the reason for this. The MUA I'm using (evolution) added a bug where pretty much all readers were copied into a reply from the original message, including the list control headers (specifically X-Beenthere:).
This caused Mailman to drop the message silently. I'd suggest that the error path causing a message to dropped in these circumstances is modified to at least log a message somewhere - anything that throws mail away *must* be logged otherwise confused mail admins tear their hair out :-) Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
