I use Gmail too for many mailing lists.  If you reply to a message your reply gets added to the thread even if the message hasn't been re-sent to you by the mailing list software and when Gmail receives the message from the mailing list server it doesn't add the message again to the thread because your reply should already be there and show as being written by "me" and adding it would be a duplicate.  I'm not sure I explained that very well but just think of it this way: why would you want a copy of your reply when your reply is already added to the thread when you send the message in the first place?

make much sense that I get my messages from ruby-talk but not
