That's close to the 'my dog ate the homework' excuse.

Of course they were sent to the list and to you personally as I used
reply-all. From the mail server log:

If those messages would not have been delivered to
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx they would hardly be on the mailing list
archive, right?

And they both got delivered to your gmail account as well.

There is no 'To' field on that page.

  [prev in list] [next in list] [prev in thread] [next in thread] 

  List:       linux-kernel

List != To.

As any other sane archive it strips the To and Cc fields for obvious
reasons.

In private mail which I ignore if there is no real good reason. And just
for the record. This private mail contains the following headers:

In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1803141527300.2481@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

So now, if you take the message ID which is in the In-Reply-To: field and
compare it to the message ID which I used for link [2]:

In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1803141527300.2481@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

you might notice that these are identical. So how did you end up replying
to a mail which you never received?

Nice try. I'm really fed up with this.

Thanks,
