Except that it's going to be confusing if you haven't got your sorry
excuse for procmail wired up right. Happened to me last year at work,
where we have Outlook -- everything cross-posted to london-list and
yapc-europe I got four times: twice in the london-list folder and twice
in yapc-europe. See, I got two messages (one from each list), and each
message triggered both rules since both "To:" address were present. I
think I later changed it so that it looked at a custom list header
(once someone pointed out to me that Outlook can do that).
Then the only confusing thing was that hitting "Reply" sent the reply
to the list if I used the copy in the london-list folder, and to the
author if I used the copy in the yapc-europe folder... :)
But I think last year, far too much got cross-posted between the two
lists, and other things were not cross-posted enough so one list
(generally yapc-europe) only got snippets of conversations which didn't
really make sense unless you were also subscribed to london-list.
Truth be told, that's when I first signed up to london-list... and for
a while, I got close to subscribing to (void) as well, as they seemed
to get dragged into the fray quite a bit as well. (Fortunately, I
resisted the temptation. I get quite enough mail as it is.)
Cheers,
Philip
