Hi list,

  I am using Gnus and there is a problem with it: When I send a message,
  it goes to the `sent' archive. But when someone else replies, I cannot
  see my own in the THREAD-VIEW. Yeah, I can always see the original
  words of ourselves if others also quote it; but is it possible for
  Gnus to grab my message when I am using `A T' in gnus summary
  buffer(just as if it is a mail list mirror)?

  Another related question about the experience of thread reading: When
  I `(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t)', the articles in one thread are
  is NOT always guaranteed to be listed; at least less than the entries
  when `gnus-summary-refer-thread' is executed. Is it supposed to be so
  or I am missing something?

  Thanks,
  Hongxu Chen

Is THREAD-VIEW = gnus-summary-mode?

In that case, I see mine, unless I read them, and then close (like
any other article).

Are you saying, you *never* see your posts in the summary?

I've put together a small page on Gnus, if you feel like comparing
notes. But, although Gnus works fine for me (more or less), and
I've spent lots of time with it, I am still somewhat of a novice.

Anyway: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/gnus/index.html

Something like gcc-self (just search it in the manual).

I've no idea about this.

By saying THREAD-VIEW I mean I am trying to view the mails sorted by
thread(number, subjects, date, etc); yeah, it is in gnus-summary-mode.

That's a nice page, thanks! I took a glance at .emacs-gnus file
and from the screenshot I believe you are subscribing usenet. However I
am on the mail list. Emanuel, have you ever before tried the mail list?

XeCycle also mentioned the `gcc' related settings and he suggested
some configurations for special groups. I also noticed the variable
`gnus-message-archive-group' might be useful(I am still trying).

For the record, I succeeded to get a copy of my sent message in
`inbox' with the settings below, although it is just a workaround.

(setq gnus-gcc-mark-as-read t) ;; don't read the sent messages
(setq gnus-message-archive-group '("nnmaildir+mymailbox:sent" "nnmaildir+mymailbox:inbox"))

The other settings can be seen at this page:
https://github.com/HongxuChen/dotfiles/blob/master/_emacs.d/config/init-gnus.el
It's far from perfect, but enough for my requirements presently.

Yes, I am reading gnu.emacs.help as a newsgroup, with Gnus.

You are also using Gnus, only you use it as a mail client, and you
get - well, this very message, for example - as a *mail*? (Is that correct?)

In that case, I guess you could automatize (add a hook to sent
message) to add a CC: or GCC: header to also send it to your
email. Perhaps this is already done, and you can activate it as an
option.

I use rmail for mail, and because rmail doesn't have an interface
(at least not by default) to show sent mails, when you reply to a
mail in rmail, your mail is added as a CC: automatically. (I don't
like that, so I had to change it.) But, I don't think rmail is a
good alternative for you because rmail isn't threaded.

Yeah, I finally figure that I need to add an entry for `Gcc', and it works!

What did you need to change to accomplish this?

If you mean automatically: AFAIK the canonical answer is "with posting
styles".
