The person sending through the gateway won't see your reply unless you click on the link in the message. The gateway only works one way: to the list. It doesn't work the other way unless Rootsweb have changed things recently.

Think I remember seeing that Roy had copied the Gateway as well as replying to this list. That way everyone could follow the thread regardless of where they were reading it.

No, a message to the list that is copied to the gateway address will not go to the message board; it only comes to the list. Anything posted to the message board comes to the list, but not the other way around. Note the following that is at the bottom of every message that is gatewayed from the board: Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It has to be done on the message board itself and a copy comes back to the list. Like I said, it's a one way gateway: board to list only. Also you can't post a reply onto the message board unless you register first, then you have to sign in before you can reply. It's a real faff.
