Im a bit late to this conversation but, I send messages to this list
from Thunderbird to Gamil. You will NOT see you posts to the list though
you will see the replies. On the gmail interface, you will not see your
initial post but you will see it when someone else responds. From that
point forward you will see your reply on the gmail site but not
necessarily on the list - though we will.
I think the above is correct.. its always been a difficult thing to
figure out.
What I do is, in Thunderbird I click From wadesmart at gmail.com and have
it set up to automatically bcc me so I can see my message is on list.
