I think I've found the cause of my problems, gmail.  Google seems to
think it's a good idea to discard (or at least hide) duplicates of
emails.  This means that the mailman settings don't really have the
effect they were meant to; my original mail "hides" the mail sent by the
list, and more irritatingly emails I'm CC'd on hides the copy sent by
the list.

Of course all of this is largely hidden when using the web interface of
gmail, it only surfaces when using IMAP.  I'm not too happy about it of
course.  I suppose it's adding to the "itch" of writing a terminal
interface to gmail with support for PGP.

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?
