Ricardo, that might work, but it could also change the Reply mechanism
for messages sent to a list. Replies might end up coming to you only
rather than to the entire list. If this is really important to you,
then you could use a second Gmail account (or any other second
account) and set it up with filters to retain only the mail that is
sent by you. You could then subscribe that second address to the list
so that it receives mail from the list, and so on.

Or, probably much easier, just set up some Outgoing mail filters to
copy messages that you send to mailing lists or CC yourself on to the
relevant folders.

Basically, what I am saying is that Gmail's behavior has some logic
behind it. And, given that the entire structure of Gmail is built on
searching rather than filing, it does make sense. However, I
personally would like to see this policy change - or at least have the
option to choose which way Gmail handles such conditions. Perhaps if
enough people voice this wish, the Google staff will make this an
optional setting or change the behavior. In the meantime, I think I'll
just adjust with the way Google works. Who knows, I might come to like
it.
