can't receive messages from ourselves (e.g., through a mailing-list)

Suppose you use ASK, and you also subscribed to some mailing-list
("[email protected]" for instance :-)

When you subscribed, you cared to put the list in your
whitelist-local.txt:

 to a-s-k-users@lists\.sourceforge\.net


Of course, you don't include your signature with your mailkey when you
post on the list:
- the mailkey is kind of secret, no need to publish it
- no need to clutter messages on the list with a signature :-)
- after all, the mailkey trick is an optional hack in ASK: in fact,
  you don't even bothered to configure a mailkey, you don't even have
  one.

Then guess what ? Each time you send a message on the list, you won't
receive it, it will be put in "junk". For instance, _I_ won't receive
this message you are reading right now. Why ? Because of this weird
piece of code:

in askmessage.py:__inlist():

		## If the sender is one of our emails, we immediately return false.
		## This allows the use of "from @ourdomain.com" without having to
		## worry about matching from [email protected]

		if self.is_from_ourselves(sender):
			self.log.write(10, "  __inlist(): We are the sender (%s). No match performed." % sender)
			self.list_match = ""
			return 0


Marco, could you explain ?
