Did you say you were using gmail to post?  I think mailing lists tend to
have issues with gmail because it puts html in the message or something like
that.  Btw I recently set up this mailing list to send me a message back
when I successfully posted something.  oddly enough, i only remember getting
one such message, so maybe none of my other messages got through. :P

i think there's a way to disable html when sending a gmail message, but
don't quote me on that.
