Hello. I have not knowingly received a reply by electronic mail (e-mail) from anyone on the e-mailing list of [email protected] to my November 12, 2021 e-mail letter sent to that e-mail address.Question: Am I supposed to join that e-mailing list of [email protected] in order for me to receive such a reply?
Yes, you should subscribe. Reasons:1) Many of us only reply to the list, unless you ask specifically to get a direct reply.
2) You are using gmail. I will explain the later.Gmail has the silent policy of deleting duplicate emails, ie, those that have the same Message-ID header. Thus if someone replies to the mail list and to you directly, the post that arrives second will be deleted.
Thus when you send email to the mail list you will not get evidence of the email having been posted on the list, and you react by sending duplicates.
