Then don't be lazy and write *two* separate posts, each of them in their own list where they pertain: if you wnat to ask a question, to debian- user, if you wnat to test your message format, to debian-ml-test ;-) Because doing what you suggest will result in a mailing list (this) full of trash and unuseful posts that helps nobody. And remember that all of the posts are archived to the posterity. That's why a dedicated mailing list for testing is aimed for, to filter out the noise of empty/unrelated messages and keeping the rest of the mailing lists clean.
