Regardless of whether you use POP forwarding, regardless of whatever
mail client you actually use to check your email, YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT
IS WITH GMAIL. All your mail goes through the gmail servers, whether
you read it on the web interface or not. All the mail downloaded to
your own PC is first processed by google's computers. There is no
possible way to receive a message from your gmail account in your
inbox on your PC without it also appearing in your inbox on the web
interface. Hence, as a limitation of gmail apparently, you will be
unable to receive messages that you yourself sent from your gmail
account.
Now, if you were to subscribe to the list using a non-gmail account
(i.e. one that does not end in @gmail.com, and regardless of where you
read it) then you may be able to receive messages you sent.
