Gene, I think maybe you mean using gmail as a POP server, and not the
gmail web client which Arthur and I are talking about. In that case,
are your own posts not pulled down by POP? In the web client you see
your own post in the Inbox, but is it not marked as new because gmail
guesses that you have read it already (one might wish it was right
about that more often).

Every post to the list has a link to the mailing archive at the
bottom, so if you are looking at a CoCo post in your mail client, and
the mail client is clever enough to linkify URLs, it is just three
clicks to get to the archive, sorted by date...

Maybe those 75% are gmail/POP but that's only a minority of gmail users.
