Where are my patches going?

Where are my patches going?

[Gary Thomas]

A number of times when I've sent patches to the list via 'git send-email',
they seem to never arrive.  How can I figure out where they are going?

For example, a short time ago I sent a pair of patches - here's the
log as printed by 'git send-email'

============================================================================================================================
$ git send-email --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org -cc=gary@mlbassoc.com --subject-prefix=meta-oe origin/master

     The Cc list above has been expanded by additional
     addresses found in the patch commit message. By default
     send-email prompts before sending whenever this occurs.
     This behavior is controlled by the sendemail.confirm
     configuration setting.

     For additional information, run 'git send-email --help'.
     To retain the current behavior, but squelch this message,
     run 'git config --global sendemail.confirm auto'.

Any ideas where these messages went or how I make sure my posts
are making it to the list?

your patches arrived. You can find submitted patches in OE's patchwork
installation [1] or in the mailing list archive [2] some minutes after
they have been sent.

That's good to hear, but why am I not seeing them on the list?

Also, I did send these same patches last week (I still had the same
command line in the same window as I used today!) and they did not
make it to patchwork at all.  These were sent 2012-03-23 15:30 GMT +/-

If you have been on the CC list, IIRC default option in git
send-email, it is likely that mailman has just dropped you from the
receiver list for these mails as you already got it in CC thus
avoiding duplicates. Something that can be configured in
mailman if desired.

maybe because the mailing list server knows they were sent by you
and/or you are on cc so it doesn't send them again?

I don't see any way to adjust this on this list - there doesn't
seem to be a "my account settings" link on the info page.

Its an global admin option not user specific IIRC. Sorry for not being
clear about it.

That would work if he does not want them in his normal inbox but
appearing only on the list.
