I have received messages titled "IMPORTANT: your message to public-xg-webid"
asking permission to archive my email, which you should not receive if you
select the right option, but I don't recall getting a copy of each email I
send. Usually that's the way mailing lists work, you don't get your message
delivered to you since you should still have it in your email client. That
does not mean that you message is not archived, it's just that you don't
have the Archived-At URI in your local copy of the email. I am not sure
whether the W3C has a web interface similar to mailman where you might
specify to get a copy of your own messages.
