Which is leading to inconsistent behaviour. Gmail is filtering the messages into the list, but only passing the direct copy on. Net result: inconsistent list behaviour, when seen from my end, because the list is now a mixture of list and direct messages. :/
yes, but it's not a problem that the list or the list-admin can do anything about - it's completely outside of their control or influence.
you can add a filter rule to gmail so that if the msg is To: or CC: luv-main@luv.asn.au then it gets saved in the luv-main folder. That will get the direct messages that don't have the List-* headers.
That apparently seems to be the case, perhaps I did add such a filter after list mail apparently "missed" the luv-main folder (because it was actually direct mail, not via the list), and is the cause of the apparent inconsistency, because as I said (again!) everything _looks_ like it's coming from the list. But we do agree on one thing, the list administrator can't do anything about this issue, it's a combination of common practice (usually by persons with a brain dead MUA, but also some who see good reason to send both list and direct mail), and gmail quirks that is the source of the issue. :/
about the only other thing you can do is have a .signature or similar asking people NOT to send you CCs of list mail. some people may even read it and follow your wishes.
Might be an interesting social experiment. :D -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
