I find this experiment somewhat interesting but am quite puzzled by the
described behavior.

I have been a subscriber to this list since spring of 2000.  I have
always received a copy of my "zeroth" message.  I have even, as I
recall, started a new thread for which no one has replied but I still
got a "from the list server" copy of that first email.

I do not doubt your experience but I don't understand why it is
different if the software and settings are the same.
