   Yes, and when your own address is on the TO or CC, it also gets posted
back into your own mail handler immediately, giving you the first copy.
The second copy comes to you via the list, confirming that your post got

    (I hate it when some lists don't send it back to you.  It's usually a
subscription option on some list handlers.  Apparently not all.)
