There is one case with Mailman lists where it matters, at least in MM 2.1, but I think MM 3 too. If a list member has 'avoid dups' set and that member is a Cc: addressee of a post, that member will not receive the post from the list AND that member's address will be removed from the Cc: list of the post delivered to the other list members. This is not the case if the member is a To: adressee; the member's list copy is still suppressed by 'avoid dups', but her addresds is not removed from the To: of the post from the list. The removal is to prevent Cc: lists from growing too large in threads with many participants. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
