You say you are not copying the sent message. Is this on gmail or on

All of this is thunderbird. I set it to save sent messages to my local
sent folder instead of the gmail one. Then I sent the message with
another smtp server (non-gmail). Now messages are showing up from me on
the list in my folder (tagged by gmail of course) as I'd expect. The
conversations view on gmail's web site still show up as I'd expect.
Only my messages aren't (contrary to what I thought earlier) being
tagged by gmail as "Sent Mail" which is perfectly fine by me for mailing
lists. Basically I'm fooling gmail into not throwing out messages it
receives that claim to be from me to the list.
Thanks for doing the legwork. Now, can one set up Thunderbird to not
save in the sent folder only for mailing lists? I'd love to fix this
annoying behavior but I'm not sure I want to abandon the Sent folder
altogether.
Another solution that comes to mind is to filter the messages somehow at
your own SMTP server and add a Bcc to another address that gmail doesn't
associate with you. I'm not sure if it would work (would gmail still
ignore the message based on its message-id?), but it might.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
