I love my Gmail. I've migrated all my mail so it comes via my servers to my Gmail account. You get a message twice? That's fine, it just shows up once if it's the same message (works with your sent items too, if it comes back from the list, it doesn't show a second one as new, great for sending mail to all of the staff at work). You subscribed to a mailing list with chatty folk from Toronto talking about an open PBX? Just make a filter that by-passes the Inbox and into their own label, now that's their inbox.
I'm thinking the solution lies with what Simon was looking for previously, mailing list ware that doubles as online forums. That way there's no need for anyone to complain. You use gmail and you're happy, great, do your part to submit a bug report to add a reply to list function. (Could be pretty easy to detect mail list mail and have that show up in addition to the other reply functions.) And if you're tired of getting three to ten copies of the same message, use the forums with message notification or some such thing. Just some morning ramblings... - Ian PS: I'm sure all of us gmailers have at least 90 invites remaining right now so if anyone missed that boat for some reason, just ask for an invite... Hmm, I sound like a Mason. A GMason. :) Anyone wanna start a new cult? On 2/10/06, Dave Donovan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 2/10/06, Simon P.
