Why do you suppose he's asking anything? There is no interrogation point
in the sentence. I would say it is unclear whether he has mixed the order
of words "there" and "is" or forgot the interrogation point. In the former
case, going on to answer "Yes" is a gross information overload, waste of
bandwidth, and underestimation of his abilities to know whether his
message has appeared on the list without an explicit answer from everybody
on the list. Without explicitly assuming anything, I would say the former
case even makes more sence.
Hm, I suppose I should add ;@) here, just in case.
