Setting mailing list options (was: [X-Unix] "open" command syntax?)

Been there, done that -- several times, to no avail!

Here are my choices for what I believe to be the relevant settings:

Receive your own posts to the list?
Ordinarily, you will get a copy of every message you post to the list. If you don't want to receive this copy, set this option to No.
SET TO YES!

Avoid duplicate copies of messages?
When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to receive copies.
SET TO NO!

I'm on several lists on this listserver and I have the same problem on all of them. I don't get copies of my own posts. Nor, as far as I can tell from my archives, do I get copies of posts that have been Cc'd to me.

Can somebody tell me what's going on? Does anybody get copies of their own posts to the list sent from the list?
