Thanks, James, and also, Don. To be clearer, I don't read my mail in the gmail 
web interface. I use forwarding, and forward the mail to my regular account. 
I almost never open my gmail web interface as all messages are forwarded to 
my regular email account (in case anyone is wondering, I do this because my 
main email is a business account with a pathetically small mailbox and if I 
don't check it regularly, it fills up and starts rejecting messages - since I 
belong to many mail lists, that's easy to do.) 

There would be no problem if I read from the web interface, but I hate reading 
mail that way, and prefer to have an archive in one place (actually, multiple 
places) of my mail. I keep an archive on at least three different machines, 
and often search the mail for posts that I read on some problem that didn't 
pertain to me at the time, but am currently running into. 

My settings for all the lists I belong to are set to send me my own posts. I 
don't think there's a solution to this, but I was hoping someone had found a 
workaround.
