I've got
several emails in this thread missing, and they are not in my
spam folder either. Weird and somewhat annoying. How much else is
going missing? I know some is. :-(

Oh dear... Since you also are posting from a gmail account, and the list
echo is deleted, that is not surprising. Cc: yourself, or find a
different, non gmail, mail server to use would be my best
recommendation. Cc'ing yourself is no guarantee the list got it, so
while it would probably serve the purpose, it comes with no warranty.
It's not emails from me that are missing, so cc.ing myself would make no
difference. I don't use Gmail as an email client, only as an archive and
POP3 server, and I don't send through Gmail, but through my ISP's SMTP
server. I always get copies of my own emails to mailing lists.
If you are saying that Gmail's POP server randomly discards received emails,
without even putting them in either the spam folder or the "bin", and other
mail servers don't, this is the first that I have heard of it. If it be
indeed the case, then that is a serious matter, but I would expect to have
heard about it in that case.
However, something has gone wrong. Some emails in this thread are missing.
So perhaps Gmail's POP3 server has started a policy of randomly discarding
random emails.

Much the same thing could be accomplished if we could
train our email
agents to store the sent mail in the list folder it was in at the time,
but that comes with the same null & void warranty. It has not made
the "round trip", meaning everyone on the associated list will see it.
