[AT] Test

Just a tidbit of information for folks that have multiple email accounts. If you are replying to messages, most particularly from smart phones and tablets, you'll find that the default email account for the device is often used as the account it will send the reply from ; NOT the address it was delivered to.  If the default account is not the account you have subscribed to the list, it will bounce. And many of the bounce messages that  explain what  happened will go to your junk folder or are simply trashed by your ISP.   So your sent message appears to simply have disappeared.

I know better and I still forget after all these years to change the sending account on my iPhone when I reply.  

PS:   I always thought it was a design oversight on Apple's part. When I address a fresh message to the list, it will choose the correct account to send from.   But it always falls back to the default account for the reply.
