I get my own posts as well. And I subscribe to several mailing lists. The posts aren't deleted just not downloaded otherwise. All mail can be set to be archived to posts going back goodness knows how long can still be retrieved from the web interface. I admit though that before I knew about recent mode I had wondered why my own posts didn't seem to show up , even though I could see it had arrived by logging into the web interface. Maybe I'm splitting hairs by thinking that if something uses standard protocols then it's the same thing :) Ray -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
