They do. For this group I sent from my gmail account. I cc myself so I 
can see that I have posted to the group and I filter on that.

I am required to keep two folders for this project: sent mail and 
received mail. Filtering only on the sender (myself) means its the same 
as a sent box so an extra value is required.I see Mohler posted the 
subject. If one always knew the subject this would work but - while I 
have asked that a std marker be included (for example [ubuntu-list] for 
would be something for this group) so far that has not happened. I could 
add it on each and every message but, that is a pain when considering 
the number of messages.
