This is the most painful GMail problem for me by far because I like to keep entire threads in my own local e-mail archives.  It's caused me to have to dig through my sent-mail folder and then manually copy messages to the appropriate procmail-fed folders for my own postings.

I've been able to bypass that GMail bug though, when I think about each posting carefully:

I don't know if this works 100% of the time, but if I make the To: field my own address, and put any list addresses in the Cc: field, I get a copy of my own e-mails back.  If any list addresses are in the To: field, I don't.

Give it a try.
