I also didn't know this...  I guess I just don't use mailing lists very 
much these days.

I actually find it surprising that this issue can't be controlled at the 
Debian list server level.  I'm sure I just don't understand the issue 
completely enough, but still, I would think that somehow it should be 
controllable at the server level.  Regardless, I've just switched to 
using another email account for posting to this list.

Cheers

If the client refuses to show you a mail, how would you go about to
solve it at the server level? And... would you want to complicate
a server setup just to cater to some client idiosyncracy?

(Note that I don't have any direct experience with gmail, so what
I know is just hearsay, but it explains nicely why folks on gmail
have some tendency to... stutter)

In this case, what appears to happen is that Gmail assumes that
Message-ID is unique, and consequently that it only needs to keep one
copy of a message with any given Message-ID. Since the person sending a
mail already has one message with that Message-ID (in their Sent
folder), Gmail sees the incoming mail as a duplicate, and discards it.

This means that the mailing-list software _could_ technically work
around this behavior by modifying the Message-ID of the received message
before it sends that message out to list members.

That strikes me as a dreadful idea from a design perspective, however,
even just on basic principle....

Well, breaking things for everybody (including gmail users, since that would
separate the sent mail from the resulting thread) just in order to fix a
minor annoyance for some users. I think "dreadful" does not just cover it.

And it would probably not work anyways since gmail tries to be smarter than
using the message-id to identify mails and threads. As expected that results
in it being stupid.

And after all, gmail users, you just wrote the mail, why would you need it
to appear as new, except for checking it arrived?

If the list software did this modification for _all_ messages, not just
ones from Gmail addresses, I don't see how it would break threading; all
received messages would be modified suitably (assuming you munged the
References and In-Reply-To and similar headers to match), all recipients
would see a consistent data set, and their clients could work with the
result normally.

That doesn't make it any less dreadful, however.

Interesting. Do you have any evidence for the idea that it uses more
than just Message-ID? I can't prove that it doesn't, but I've never seen
anything that I recall to indicate that it does.

For myself, one major reason (not the only one) is that the received
copy is often different from the sent copy - modified message headers
(e.g. by adding List-ID), added mailing-list footer, et cetera. (The
fact that Gmail treats messages with these differences as identical is
part of why I think they rely on Message-ID for their differentiation.)

It breaks it for the *senders*: they would have the message in their "sent"
archive with the message-id chosen by the MUA and the rest of the thread
connected to the message (in-reply-to and references) with a different
message-id.

A long time ago, I experimented with in-reply-to and references in order to
see how gmail decided if a mail belongs in a thread, and my conclusion was
that it relied more on the subject field than anything else. It was a long
time ago.

True. A gamil users could check to see if it is possible to obtain that
information. I suspect the misfeature belongs in gmail's web interface,
actually, and the mails are really present in the archive and accessible
through IMAP.

I'm not sure this would actually manifest the way you're describing it -
but I'm not positive it wouldn't, either, and I don't care to invest the
brainpower in working it out for certain right now.

For threading, you're probably right. For message uniqueness for its
duplicate filtering, however, the Subject obviously isn't enough to go
on - and I strongly suspect that Message-ID is the key.

Nope - or if so, it's either a new-these-last-few-years development, or
for some reason specific to just IMAP. I access my sole Gmail account
via POP3, and the "duplicate" messages don't come through there either -
or at least they didn't back in 2009, I don't often send mail through
that account (for this very reason).

I think this really is an "optimization" on Google's end, to save on
storage space since they can already show the "same" message in the
right place thanks to their Web interface's fancy search wrangling.

Actually, it is even worse than I suggested: mails can be CC to other people
than the list. These people would see the message-id chosen by the MUA, but
when someone on the list replies, the in-reply-to would be the message-id
chosen by the list.

I strongly suspect it is much more complicated than that. It always is with
google.

Do the POP access show you all mails, including sent, spam, etc.? I suspect
by default it only shows you the so-called inbox.

Possibly.   I avoid all I care about (I use threading) by using an email 
client, POP3 and my ISP's SMTP server.

I use a gmail account, but I hate the web interface, so I use 
Thunderbird with IMAP.  I'm pretty sure that I get all of my posts 
back.  I'll let you know for sure when this one comes back to me.

You're reading the 'All Mail' Gmail directory that's why. Copies don't
come back to one's regular inbox, but will be in the all mail directory
if my memory serves me. By default Gmail won't show them in the inbox in
their Webmail Gmail or INBOX app. Using IMAP on mutt I don't see them
either unless I enter the all mail directory.

I don't work with gmail. I was with verizon but was forced to change to 
aol when verizon got out of the mail business. In addition, I use good 
old icedove as my mail client and avoid all of the adds. But debian-list 
is the only mailing list with which I am having this problem. So is it 
debian-lists problem or aol's

That none of my posts are showing up on my iceweasel mail client. Very 
annoying. I've been using this  combination for years and the problem 
just started recently. Maybe something to do with being forced to shift 
to aol. I've been thinking about shifting to gmail but hate to think of 
all of the email addresses that will need to be changed.

Actually, no.

I let Gmail do my filtering and all of the list's mail gets filtered 
into a separate folder.  My posts show up there.

You're telling me you put your sent mail in that folder too via a
ruleset? Why do you want to see your sent email?

I dunno what planet you are on, but I want to see my post coming back 
from the list server to prove that the post made it to the list.  With 
gmail, the only practical way to do that is to subscribe using two 
different names, and always send to only one, but you will then get the 
list echo back on the 2nd account.  Its a PITA with gmail, but its the 
only way I know of to get around their duplicate deletion.  Then gmail 
changed the login about a year ago, so mine failed and I took that 
server off my every 3 minute scan for new mail.  And I don't miss the 
headache of dealing with gmail as it reduces my pain killer input by 
99%.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
