Joan, Let me give you a good one. I am a member of a locality mailing list. The board is gatewayed to the list. I received a message last night on the mailing list, went to the board, read the messages and responded to one of the messages on the board asking for more info so I could do a lookup. Just a while ago I got a reject of my posted message saying I had bcc'd it and it should be sent with the mailing list name in the To: area. Now remember I posted a straight out message to the board AND I am a member of the mailing list with the same email that I used to post to the message board. It did not go through. I wrote the list admin to see if he could shed any light on what happened. Maybe he rejected it accidently but if so how did the bcc'd part get on the message. My point is that this message should have gone straight through to the mailing list since I am a member. I will wait to see what the admin has to say but wanted everyone not to expect the messages to automatically go through just because the person is a member of the list.
