Another interesting thing.  Normally, if I am reading a discussion-list thread and someone responds to it while I am reading, I get a message that there is an update from a named user and do I want the conversation (thread) updated.  That does not happen if I am the responder but I stay reading the conversation.  However, immediately upon returning to the inbox, the email list shows the additional response from me.

BTW, my reply to Darrin&#39;s message showed up immediately.&nbsp; My thinking is that the option in the discussion list has a boundary condition on messages so the zeroth message is not echoed to the sender even though it is sent to the member list except for the originator.&nbsp; Subsequent messages (1-n) do get sent and work properly for the echo to originator.

Interesting !!!&nbsp; I just refreshed my inbox and see this message from you, but my original post has not shown up for me.&nbsp; Seems the test is working.&nbsp; So if anyone wants to comment on this, do it in this thread please.&nbsp; IOW, please continue to not reply to my original message to the discussion list.
