This is not good, but ignoring etiquette and messing it up for everyone
else is certainly not the solution.

I do not think that the list server needs fixing as this works for
everyone else, it seems. I also could not do it since I am not the
admin. 

Do you use gmail to send emails? I have read that it has a quirk that
lets you not see your own new mails. There are solutions, please searc
the list archives.

On Windows, I assume. Thunderbird certainly can do it, but I don't know
about other email clients on Windows, if any exist beside Outlook
(Express) and Thunderbird.

It's funny, I had used Linux before I was on the internet, and I always
assumed that everyone has threaded mail readers, since it's such an
obvious thing to do. Until, last year or so, I found out that many
Windows users don't know what mail threading is.
