Thanks so much.  I did look at the FAQ before posting.

The posts are archived.

The message is not in /var/log/mailman/vette.

The web interface does not show any pending messages.

To track the message, I looked in:

/var/log/mailman/post:
Feb 27 00:54:41 2009 (16639) post to extremeintegration from 
poster at lab.gov, size=5526, 
message-id=<BB5CEB80-5EDE-4520-BA7E-CE770B365B1C at lab.gov>, success

smtp:

Feb 27 00:54:41 2009 (16639) 
<BB5CEB80-5EDE-4520-BA7E-CE770B365B1C at lab.gov> smtp to extremeintegration 
for 2 recips, completed in 0.165 seconds

(I understand this to mean that there are 2 recipients, not the 20 
list members.)

When I look at /var/log/maillog, there is a message to me and the sender:
