I subscribe to this list using email address address@hidden

address@hidden is set to forward all incoming mail to
address@hidden

I posted a message to this list using the
address@hidden account.  It had to be manually
approved by the list owner since the sender wasn't subscribed.  You
sent a reply to address@hidden, and CCed the mailing
list.

The mailing list doesn't know any address@hidden, so
even if it did try to avoid sending messages to people who were
addressed directly, it wouldn't know not to send me a copy.

But I only received 1 copy of the mail (the one you sent directly to
me; I never received a copy from the list).  There's no reason for the
list not to have sent me a copy, so I can only surmise that gmail.com
saw that the 2 messages it received were the same, and deleted one of
them.

Even when I downloaded mail using POP3, only one copy arrived.
