Gmail does something similar, except not time-limited; it won't even re-send you a copy of a mail you send to a mailing list. This is apparently on the grounds that you already have a copy under "Sent Items" or equivalent, and of course Gmail's magical "unified conversations" view will show that message in the discussion's context no matter where it's actually stored. Which is useless if you're not using the Gmail Web interface, of course... not to mention if you actually want the modified mailing-list copy. I suppose there's argument to be made that the actual problem lies in not changing the Message-ID when modifying a message for mailing-list retransmission, but that's a long-established practice and there are very likely reasons for it. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it.
