It works! Here is the solution to the mailing list @ gmail problem:

Assuming you have an email account with your ISP as well as the gmail
account, you need to set up your email client's SMTP server settings to
your ISP's SMTP server instead of gmail's smtp server. You can still
send email as "you"@gmail.com but instead of going through gmail's smtp
server its going through your isp's smtp server. The posts that you send
to the list will now come through on your email client (at least they do
on mine). If you need further help setting it up, just ask.

Hope this helps :)

Mike
