Yes.  Apparently the list is set up not to send your posts back to you.  I never see any of mine either.

It’s not a list setting, it’s a feature of gmail.

I personally like to see my posts so, I put a bcc in my email so I see

Well actually you aren't seeing a post from the list but just a copy of what you have sent to the list.  Proving I suppose that the message made it to your mail server.  I have my lists set up to echo the message to everyone - because like us, lots of folks like some form of feedback.

[John Abbott]

Strange then that it echoes my posts to several Google Group email lists.

Well, right, and I know that. I just to like to see my message so
when/if its answered, I have a thread showing the problem and possible
solution.

Sorry Wade, I didn't mean to infer any lack of skills toward you.  I don't use the thread feature but prefer to using the search functions when retrieving a subject or thread.  I wasn't thinking.

My mail appears in the thread if somebody replies to it. I can’t remember
what setting I altered to do this though.

It isn't the list, it is gmail that doesn't give you your own posts
back.

The list does too if you so select.  I've never used gmail in my life and I don't get my post or replies unless someone replies to it. Leonard Chatagnier lenc...@sbcglobal.net

[Cybe R. Wizard]

I haven't seen that option although admittedly I haven't been to the
sign-up page in quite a while. OTOH, are you sure it isn't Yahoo mail
doing the same thing for you as gmail is doing for the OP?

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Pretty sure because I definitely remember seeing a selection to receive a copy of your post or not.  I was receiving a copy of my posts using Yahoo for a while, got tired of it, then deseleted getting a copy. Leonard Chatagnier

I just visited

and couldn't find anything else remotely resembling that choice of
receiving your own posts or not.

[John Abbott]

Is top posting preferred on this list?

Old school was bottom posting.

[Cybe R. Wizard]

It still is bottom or in-line posting that is preferred.

And, BTW, I wrote that, not Leonard.

[Leonard]

Definitely not. I did get digest mail for a while but decided it's much
easier to receive individual mail.
I hated trying to respond to digest mail, everyone kept complaining and
someone suggested getting individual
posts which I did. Much easier to reply. In any case I don't receive a
copy of my original posts whether I use Yahoo web
mail, SM or TB.

Funny you say that as I had a difficult time finding it the first time.
My 72 yr old brain doesn't remember
details as it once did. AIR, You had to log in and select the right
link(bottom of page, AIR) and it took you
to a long detailed list of options to choose from. I read over the
option to not receive your own posts a few times
and I think that applies to your replies to other posts unless someone
replies to it. AIR, it was at the beginning of
the list of options. I guess it could have been changed as its be some
time since I selected it but as said above, I don't
get copies of my post no matter what MUA I'm using. I believe the list
I'm referring to covers more that one screen
page and that there is a more abbreviated list that doesn't have the
option. Maybe you need to explore more of the
links at the bottom of the log in URL. I hope you can find it.

I think your 72 YO brain is functioning just fine. I found it on the
unsubscribe or edit options page. I didn't even remember that I once
had entered a password there. Now I know more, thanks!

Cybe, glad you found it.  Nice to know I'm not getting senile just yet-:o)

The point I was trying (obviously failed) to make was that the set up pages for the OWNER of the list has a choice of echoing or not.  It is possible to set up most lists to either send to all or send to all but the posting address.  Here is the setup from one of my lists.
