Hi,

Are you delivering two copies of ONE email to the same gmail.com address? If so, Gmail will only display one copy of that message. It's really annoying, because it won't show you a copy of your email to this list, for example: it'll only show you the copy that you sent! I don't know what kind of algorithm they use to determine whether two emails are the same.
