That's actually because of the way your account is set up on the list.

You've got "avoid duplicate copies of messages" set to "yes".  So when 
anyone sends a message to the list with you CC'd, the list assumes you 
already got it and doesn't send you a "second" copy.  In my case, you 
don't get the copy from me, the list assumes you did, and you get nothing.

Oh, you didn't do this.  The list default settings were changed to do this 
for all new users at some point.

You can turn it off on the mailing list page.  Not sure whether I should 
change the default back or not.

This bothers me more than a little - Tiago's post didn't show up in my 
mailbox.  I'm not sure it really got to the list at all.

Tiago, can you resend that email?
