Otherwise gmail thinks the echo from a mailing list is a duplicate and deletes it, making the poor user think his message didn't get posted.Maybe once? I've never seen this advice before, and I've been around for a few years. I suppose I could have inferred that from some other comments I've seen (that point out that you don't ever see / get the echo from the mailing list), or figured it out on my own (I guess I never had a burning need to do so). My point is, I don't think the word has been spread very far.
I doubt I have ever seen these words nor ideas.Interesting that I have 3 responses to the original post. Perhaps we have a time zone issue? Like when I was flamed at 06:00 the morning after, for not responding to a post I sent at 21:00. We sometimes need a way of knowing the the poster maybe sleeping while many are awake. But then would you believe that I posted at 21:00 today, when you read it at 6:00 today. Put that into context, my current time is Fri06Mar2020@14:23:53 Many of you will read it on Thursday evening?
My solution has been to bcc my self and an archive address. I am slowly working towards a better email server, but it takes time.
