[NCC] NCC Email System - Update

[Hal Offutt]

Hello Again,

Just to update those who care about the reflector issue that I recently 
described, the problem seems to occur only when posting from gmail 
accounts.   See the excerpt from the Mailman FAQ at the end of this 
message for a detailed description.

There are about 8 members who post from gmail accounts.  I have changed 
the settings so that when these members post to the list, they will 
receive an acknowledgement that the reflector has received their posts. 
   A couple of members were already receiving such acknowledgements, so 
this issue may have come up in the past.  If you don't want to receive 
such acknowledgements, just let me know.

Case closed.

73, Hal W1NN

    2.8. Help! I use Gmail/Googlemail, but I can't tell if any of my
    messages have been posted to the list!

Q: I use Gmail/Googlemail, but when I send a message to a list that I am 
subscribed to I never get a copy back.

A: There is a problem with gmail/googlemail - when you send a message to 
a mailing list, any mailing list, gmail doesn't show you your own 
message as it comes back from the list. Everybody else sees it, even 
other gmail users, but not you. And replies to your message will be 
threaded with your post as you sent it, not as it came back (ie without 
list headers, subject tags or footers). This is a "feature" of gmail, 
and there is nothing you or the list administrator can do about it.

If you routinely post from a gmail account, it would probably be good to 
visit your user options page for the list in question and set "Receive 
your own posts to the list?" to No, since you won't see them anyway, and 
set "Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list?" to 
Yes so you will receive confirmation of your post.
