7.4 How do I stop or start getting copies of my own posts? (myposts
57
By default in Mailman, you get a copy of every post you send to the list.
58
Some people like this since it lets them know when the post has gone through

To set this using the email interface:

92
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See

Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
96
<li>Set it to "on" to receive copies of your own posts, and "off"
97
to avoid receiving them.
