[oe] Where are my patches going?

A number of times when I've sent patches to the list via 'git send-email',
they seem to never arrive.  How can I figure out where they are going?

For example, a short time ago I sent a pair of patches - here's the
log as printed by 'git send-email'

============================================================================================================================
$ git send-email --to openembedded-devel at lists.openembedded.org -cc=gary at mlbassoc.com --subject-prefix=meta-oe origin/master
/tmp/ENcQFw9ulr/0001-python-twisted-update-to-latest-upstream-version.patch
/tmp/ENcQFw9ulr/0002-python-zopeinterface-update-to-latest-upstream-versi.patch
Who should the emails appear to be from? [Gary Thomas <gary at mlbassoc.com>]

     The Cc list above has been expanded by additional
     addresses found in the patch commit message. By default
     send-email prompts before sending whenever this occurs.
     This behavior is controlled by the sendemail.confirm
     configuration setting.

     For additional information, run 'git send-email --help'.
     To retain the current behavior, but squelch this message,
     run 'git config --global sendemail.confirm auto'.

In git 1.7.0, the default has changed to --no-chain-reply-to
Set sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to true if
you want to keep --chain-reply-to as your default.

Any ideas where these messages went or how I make sure my posts
are making it to the list?
