I' not sure I quite understand how the list software can address that, as it isn't processing the header -- the sender's SMTP server is doing it. And, in any event, the problem is not duplication between headers, or duplication of emails to the same address in a single header. It's because the Reply-To header set by the list has two email addresses in it, the Reply-To of the message sent (in the case of my posts, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) plus the Finale mailing list. When someone replies to that post and does not trim the poster's address, there's no way I can imagine that the mailing list could eliminate any duplication, since the mailing list software only sees the copy that is addressed to it. So far as I can tell, that setting applies only to duplication between CC and To (which is what it says), and wouldn't have any effect on the current situation. BTW, I actually appreciate the efforts of the people who take the time to trim out my email address when replying. But the problem is not caused by *me* -- it's caused by an incorrect configuration of the mailing list software. This is the only mailing list I'ver ever subscribed to that exhibits this problem. -- David W.
