It must be on my side, but how??

Hmmm.  Almost sounds like a procmail order of precedence issue.  Or
actually, if you were to get two copies...do you have anything in there
that dumps duplicates based on Message ID?  That would do it.

My question would be (and it didn't seem clear to me, so forgive if it was
meant to be obvious), is the "system" (whomever's) dropping messages that
are not dual-addressed to both you and the list?  For instance, this will
be sent only to the list--I'll ensure that.  Did you get this one?  If so,
then it definitely puts it somewhere inside your system and excludes the
list.

Matter of fact, I'm stripping out -all- references to your private address
from the quoted reply so that no filter can latch onto it.  Should be a
pure test, so even a body-scan won't snag on it.

Any other mailing lists you're on that are behaving similarly?
