Of course, a work around would be to have two separate accounts, 
one for reading, one for writing, or use some other web-based 
email hoster, or run your own mail server. 

Although I would not be in favor of TLUG changing its behavior 
to accomodate Gmail's bug, I wonder if a slight mangling of 
posted letters, such as adding +tlug-posted to the sender's email 
address (left of the '@'), or adding an extra space to the end 
of each line would avoid Gmail's filters. Rot13 would almost 
certainly avoid Gmail's filters, but at considerable burden to 
outselves. Of course, there's the obvious Message-Id. Mangling 
that would break threaded readers. Like I said, I don't want TLUG 
to do any mangling to workaround Gmail's bug. It's up to Gmail 
to fix their bug.
