Yes...it's very simple: Bcc yourself when you post to the list. You
won't get the copy that was sent FROM the list, but it will be threaded
correctly, and that's what really matters (at least, IMO).

You can even set up abbreviations if you use vi/vim (for other editors,
RTFM for that editor) as your editor to avoid having to type your e-mail
address over and over, e.g.,

abbrev _me my_email_address@gmail.com

Then you just type _me in the Bcc field and it expands to your e-mail
address. That also helps you avoid typos (which, since cancer #1, is
a very real problem for me---I usually catch them as I type them, but
not always).

Another alternative (same concept, different approach) is to configure
your e-mail client to either add your e-mail address to Bcc or not
depending on whether you're sending to a list defined in your rc file
(or settings) for that e-mail client or to some other e-mail address.
Again, RTFM for your e-mail client.

As far as I know, no Googlegroups offer the option to receive copies
of your own postings. If I'm wrong on that, I would certainly welcome
information on how and where to set that.

Hope this helps.
