That's optional.
In your Account preferences page there's a checkbox that is checked by
default:
|_| I always want copies of my own messages
The effect of that checkbox is to cause the Message-Id to be replaced on
messages you post. For some email services (Gmail notably among them)
this allows you to see the message as returned from the group. Otherwise
(if the Message-ID were left intact) Gmail would see a message with that
same ID already in your account (the Sent folder) and would not display
the "duplicate" message as received.
This only affects messages that I send, right? Is there a way to set
this for everyone. I'll have to play with this a bit, though.
In addition, anyone on both lists/groups will get a separate copy of
each message, and it is unclear which one they should reply to.
Hmm...
Groups.io will insert a Reply-To field in the outbound header. The
content of that header is set by one of your group's Settings. But none
of the available choices will cause it to include the other group/list
and if the member uses plain Reply that would likely exclude the other
list, even if it were not removed from the To or CC. So I guess the
member would need to use Reply-All to get the reply to go to both lists
(and direct to the original poster).
It seems to just not insert a Reply-To for our list, which is pretty
important for cross posting to work (otherwise our group effectively
steals threads from every other list).
