Google/gmail is smarter than we are. It "knows" that since
foobar sent the message, foobar knows what is in the message,
and therefore doesn't want it cluttering up his(foobar's) Inbox.
I wrote a letter to the gmail honchos about this, which I reproduce
below. Of course I heard nothing. But maybe if 5 or 50 or 500 of
us wrote similar messages, something might happen . . . ?

(start)------------------------------------
I would like to have mail that I send to an E-list
(aka list-serve, E-mail list) from my gmail account,
accepted when it is sent back to me; it should appear
in my Inbox. (I get postings from other list members,
so the list SW is OK).
It must have taken effort for Gmail to send these messages
to /dev/null. I would like that effort to be undone.
Many thanks in advance,
Alan McConnell
