OK, lets go back to step 1, and try to think it through this time. - a user sends a mail from account X to list Y - same user is also subscribed to list Y from account X - if list Y sends a copy of the mail to the user at account X, then the user has a duplicate because by definition *he already has the original* - it is completely reasonable to give the list admin the option to enable or disable this behaviour Sometimes the user does want a copy of the post to come back as a verification that the message was indeed fully processed by the list server. That would be an issue between the user and the list admin. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
