The listserver is set up to be smart; if it notices that you've been
cc'd into the list, it won't send you another copy. If that's a
problem for you, go to the config page, as mentioned in your welcome
email - it should be this, I believe:

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/options/lilypond-user/Warp_7%40gmx.de

You'll need your password, which you can have emailed to you. Once you
log in, you'll see an option down the bottom "Avoid duplicate copies
of messages?", which you can set to No to get all those emails you're
missing out on.

Hope that helps!
