So either Google (my email host) noticed that I got 3 of the same message, and suppressed two of them, or the python-dev mail server that hosts the mailing lists merged the expanded destinations with duplicate suppression. I'm inclined to think the former is more likely. I am also subscribed to those mailing lists, I do not use gmail, and I got all three.

Thanks for this extra information, Ethan. That points at Gmail pretty conclusively as the source of the reduction in number of messages. Since it has long been known that Gmail suppresses CC or BCC to self, it is likely that suppressing duplicate messages from cross-posted mailing lists is also done... likely achieved due to matching Message-Id values. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
