They definitely were CC'd to you Junio.

No, it's not SMTP path differences.

I _know_ that my mail path is identical for git-send-email as well as my
MUA, because I had problems with GIT and whitespace in email addresses
initially ;-).

Since I have access to all the mail servers in my path (home -> AUTH
SMTP @ work -> wherever), I dug at the logs, and found that vger did
indeed accept my email to the list, but the messages never turned up on
the list.

The only weirdness I saw in that, is that the envelope sender did not
appear to be set correct from git-send-email. Give me a moment to
explore down that path.
