Yes, I normally get back copies of my own posts. I received my second 
post yesterday, just not the first one.

My mail client is not filtering anything.

If my ISP is dumping it, then it's happening before it even gets to the 
junk mail folder that they keep for all users. I checked that folder 
(through their web interface), and my message was not in it. Although 
there were plenty there for herbal supplements and the like!

It doesn't really bother me if I don't get my own messages back, but it 
worries me that I might be missing others. I did a quick check yesterday 
of the archives for June, and I had most of the messages. Maybe some 
from JE were missing?

Anyway, it was probably a fluke thing, so no big deal.
