11 Please, don't hijack threads. It is irritating for people using
12 thread-aware e-mail clients. Even more it is offending to the original
13 poster, because they get answers to your question instead of theirs. In
14 case you didn't know, it happens when you use "reply" for sending a new
15 question instead of composing a "new" message.

20 My guess is you can't see your own messages because your server filters
21 them. It is known to happen with Gmail accounts. As a workaround you
22 could register two accounts - one for reading and one for sending
23 messages as described in the documentation:

30 I subscribed to a list using my home email address, but I can't post to
31 the list from work. What do I do to fix this?

33 To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts
34 from official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately, mlmmj supports
35 "nomail" subscriptions, allowing you to register alternate email
36 addresses that can be used only for posting to the list. Here's an
37 example of how this works. Let's say you subscribed to the gentoo-dev
38 list as jim@××××.com, but you'd also like to post to the list using
39 your james@××××.com email address. To do this, send a message (as
40 james@××××.com) to gentoo-dev+subscribe-nomail@g.o You should
41 then be allowed to post to gentoo-dev using both your home and work
42 email addresses...."
