33 I doubt it works that way. I always get mails back from the list, I can
34 forward one to you, the headers should be proof enough. Of course it's
35 possible to place a copy of your sent message in your inbox (and I know,
36 kmail's got an option for that) but that's not standard behavior. It's
37 merely a workaround for broken filters like gmail's.
