Ah!  I try not to gripe about the problem.  But now I am glad I
mentioned it!  :-)

Thanks,

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, it was respecting that header, but I did not realize what was
happening, so I thought it was just some strange feature and I added the
CC manually. Sorry about that! :P

Yes.  In the threaded view those message ids are referred to by
another message, yours in this case, and therefore the archive knows
they exist but they are missing from the archive.  Those missing
messages are my replies to you where my message was signed and was
filtered out.  You have them in your mailbox because you had sent a
direct reply to me and therefore I returned the action with a direct
reply to you.  And because your message was signed my Mutt client
replied with a signed message.  But they are missing from the archive
due to the misconfiguration which filtered out content type parts that
were not in the list of text type parts.

I am surprised that gnus is not respecting the Mail-Followup-To
header.  Since I am subscribed to the list I prefer to get replies
there and set the header to direct replies there.  But that is a
different problem.

You are probably right since that is in there too.  However that part
seems to work pretty well.  Or possibly an attempt to block virus
attachments which sometimes also hit the lists hard and that is also
in the area of content type too.  And it very was a slip of mine doing
the misconfiguration.

This does mean that anyone who was using signed email had their
message bodies filtered out and their messages lost.  Sigh.  Sorry.

On the good side this is only something that is list by list.  So
something that was only affecting this list.  Not something that had
global effect across all of the lists.

Yes, your message seemed to work. Thanks for fixing it! There is also
one more strange thing: two of the messages in the archive show up as
"Message not available". Perhaps that was part of the filter problem?

Speaking from the peanut gallery, some mail lists exclude things like HTML and 
sometimes other things (inline pictures, (large?) files, ...)

Maybe that filter was an inaccurate attempt to block HTML?

There does seem to be a configuration problem with the savannah-users
mailing list.  Because I do not see my signed messages in the archive
either.  However they do go to other lists okay.

I think maybe I found the problem.  There was a filter enabled that
deleted message parts that were not text/plain.  That's certainly not
good.  I deleted that filter and will sign this message as a test.  If
it goes through okay then that was the problem.  I have no idea why
that filter was enabled.
