Actually, Tony, this is one of the intentional quirks of Gmail. Here
is how the Gmail support staff explain it:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mail you send to yourself only appears in your inbox when you are the sole
recipient of the message. In order to prevent your inbox from becoming
cluttered, messages that you carbon copy or blind carbon copy to yourself,
or send to a mailing list that you subscribe to, appear in the 'Sent Mail'
section of your account. If a message is not successfully delivered, an
error message is sent to your inbox.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also read something about this problem in the Gmail Help Center at:

https://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=8853&query=CC&topic=0&type=f

This behavior takes some getting used to. I also don't like it very
much. Google tells you again and again not to worry about deleting
mail, but then they take this kind of step to prevent your inbox from
getting cluttered. It seems to be a contradiction.

But I have now gotten used to this behavior, and I no longer require
the "security blanket" of actually seeing a returned copy of my
message from mailing lists. I can wait to see my message again when
someone replies. After all, I do have a copy of what I sent in the
Sent Mail folder of both TB and Gmail.
