The trouble is getting a patch message back from the list when you
send a patch in.  For example I sent
<1344017124-5749-1-git-send-email-kop at meme.com>
[PATCH v2] README: Add handy kermit primer
The mail logs show the message going out, but nothing
ever comes back with that message id.
(Of course I don't see the message id if my
system rejects the inbound message, but why
would it reject just my patches from the list?)

Perhaps it's because git send-email automatically cc-s me,
so the list decides not to send the patch back?
I've added myself as a cc to this message to see
if that matters.

In any case it's not a big deal.  It's just, odd.
If you really care you can look at your logs
and watch the above message id come in and
what happens to it.
