How... kind... of them. I was wondering about that but had assumed that it was 
my mail client who was the culprit (silly me; we all know what assumptions do to 
you). I can see why someone would want that, but I'd prefer that they didn't do 
that. My mail client would do better at figuring out threads if it had the 
message from the list instead of my sent message. Oh well. This goes with my 
general irritation that spam doesn't go through my filters first, so I have no way 
to stop stuff that I _know_ isn't spam from being put into the spam folder or put 
stuff that I know _is_ spam in there. I'd much prefer to have control over the 
spam filter. But tough luck.
