That is remarkable. Google's proposed solution is to add the alias
address as another address you can send from, or send as, which only
covers the case where the other address is just an alias you own for
yourself. It totally ignores the strange new fangled unsupported
unofficial bizarre thing called a mail list. You can't set up an alias
for the list address to your own.
And their other solution that you can see your own sent mail in your
sent-mail folder, also seems to totally ignore the realities of mail
lists, and mail in general for that matter. Seeing that I wrote a
message and attempted to send it is pretty much never why I want to see
the list copy of that message. Not to mention, if you keep list messages
in their own folder, that folder doesn't contain every message, it's
missing all of your own. The fact that those missing messages may be
found in some other place is not useful.
Like have they ever actually used email?
"Messages sent to email alias or group don't appear in inbox"
Although because that answer's couched in non-canonical email
speak, I can't make sense of it. I've seen other mailing list
software have similar complaints against Gmail:
