Hi Barbara The reason is you are using sky (which is gmail actually) gmail does not accept your own postings as a matter of course, their reason is "to save clutter in your inbox" (which is laughable) It requires a little tweak to solve the problem After the tweak you will receive a copy of *every* post you make (not just those to the lists) which takes a little getting used to but I find quite handy actually I will dig out the instructions and send them over to you Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Doeos anyone know why I am not receiving my own lists from nottsgen!
