Welcome, Matthew! 

For Matthew and for everyone, it's easy to see whether your post has gone out to the INDOLOGY members or not.  On the indology.info website there's a link saying that the archive back to 1990 can be browsed.  If you click that, and click "date" in the top line (the most recent month), you can look at the most recent posts to the lists.  Any new post is added to this archive within a few seconds. 

It often happens that one is not sure that one hit the right button or that a post went out correctly to the forum.  This is how you can check for yourself.

Best,

Dominik

INDOLOGY committee member.
